“Like silence after noise, or cool, clear water on a hot, stuffy day, emptiness cleans out the messy mind and charges up the batteries of spiritual energy.” (Nowhere and Nothing pg 147). There are those beings who are quite rambunctious and favor noise over silence however spiritual energy is also pleasing. Silence after a ruckus and refreshing water on a hot summer afternoon cause us to be rejuvenated which is great. Although clearing an empty mind may require work with a limited amount of distractions one can be charged with cheer. What Hoff is explaining in this quote is that we all should clear our messy minds and relax when the moment arises. The comparisons in this quote make this appear better and bring ease into the audience.
