Speaking Quietly

​Spend any amount of time on Facebook these days and you'll see an awful lot of shouting going on.

This powerful quote (which I found whilst researching the artist prompt cards designed by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt) gave me pause for thought.

It reminds me of a rhyme from my childhood:

The wise old owl
Lived in the oak.
The more he heard,
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke,
The more he heard.
Why can't we all be
​Like that wise old bird?

Does your work shout or does it whisper?

  • How might you change that up a bit? 
  • What might such a change imply?
