I discuss the Dutch art of quietude called “Stilte” from the book of the same name by Mirjam van der Vegt and provide practical advice on embracing silence in our lives. Suggestions include changing scenery, pruning our activities, fasting, meditating, and creating a quiet space in our homes. The book emphasizes the importance of stillness and quietness in building a closer relationship with God and gaining clarity in our thoughts and emotions.
