Someone said once that what makes great music as often the rests, the space between the notes. The same is true in conversation. Every moment does not have to be filled with words. It is the idle chatter and meaningless fluff that accompany efforts at good conversation that detract from contemplation and the flow of connected thoughts. Do not become a chatterbox or feel compelled to make cute comments or witticisms.
