Pico Ayer is one of the world's most influential voices on inner stillness and the art of stepping back,

reaching millions through his bestselling books and TED Talk.

Every time I go up into that silence, it's a way of preparing myself for... I love the phrasing that it was a sense of homecoming, that bring you back home to who you've

always been, but maybe have lost touch with along the way. We feel some absence, but we have

no sense of how to remedy that. But unless we give ourselves that opportunity and do something

quite conscious

and maybe radical, we're lost in that flurry and there's no way out.
