Creativity is one of my favorite topics. And Sir Ken Robinson is one of my favorite “experts” on creativity.

I like the quiet. A lot. The quiet can be downright intoxicating or whatever the opposite of intoxicating is. When I’ve gotten really quiet, as quiet and still as I have ever been, on silent meditation retreats, I have sunk deep into love with the silence and it has perhaps been my very best teacher. [...]
