THE SILENCE BETWEEN NOTES
So much living happens in the spaces we don't fill.
We rush through days filled with constant noise
of words, plans and demands
We crave explanations and definitions
the clear articulation of everything
But so much of what matters
unfurls in the quiet.
Think of moments just before a storm
the air thick with hushed anticipation
Or the calm after a profound experience
Where words simply crumble and presence
becomes the only language.
Life offers these natural pauses
These empty canvases—
The quiet gaze out a window
A walk at dusk
A shared meal with friends where laughter ebbs
A long journey where thoughts simply drift
and comfortable silence takes its place.
It is in these unsaid things
Where resilience often builds
and healing begins
It is where we connect beyond the literal
Into the unspoken knowing
and find answers that our souls possess.
