Sometimes the silence and the lack of stimulation is precisely what is necessary for the creative output. Where the mind works upon the solution in silence, sub-consciously. These moments where you sit with the process and comfortably await the single thought that has what you need. Sometimes the boldest and most ambitious thing you can do, is to sit and contemplate. Perspective afforded by they who run forward bold, who can take the rest and apply the time they have been so generously given.
Meditate.
