“When the noise of external influences is shut out, the inner person's low and gentle voice becomes audible.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Questions Asked, chapter 5
In other words
The wants of other people and the demands of daily life can become so loud that a person’s own needs are hard to hear. Activity continues, but much of it may carry little personal meaning.
When that noise grows quiet, another voice becomes clear. It speaks through the work that brings peace, the passion that makes a day worthwhile, and the feeling that something important has been neglected.
The inner voice is gentle because it does not compete well with pressure and obligation. Its quietness does not make it less important. Hearing it helps restore balance between what the world asks and what the self needs in order to remain happy, grounded, and alive inside its own life.
