Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
Silence is the fool’s virtue, but only old fools know this, and only after being kneecapped one too many times by their own foolishness. To grow, and to grow older, is to become more amazed by how many times I am forgiven for my foolish ways. Most fools eventually learn, there is infinitely more grace in a moment of silence and stillness, than in all of their words combined.
