A nice quote from John Francis, (from the TED radio podcast, 'Quiet', 21/11/14). John simultaneously decided to give up using motorised transport and talking. He remained silent for 17 years, and walked the world. Talking about his motives, he realised that he regularly questioned his commitment to remaining silent, but never questioned himself about his choice to give up motorised transport. This is what he said next:
'I didn't know who I would be, if I changed. And I know that a lot of times we find ourselves in this wonderful place where we've gotten to, but there's another place for us to go and we kind of have to leave behind the security of who we've become and go to the place [of] who we are becoming'.
