silence seems to become rarer with the passing of time. as societies advance and as countries develop silence seems to shrink, to fade, to disappear. yet silence seems so important, so vital. i remember an orchestra director who would always tell her orchestra that the silence was just as important as the sound, if not more, and unless they respected the rests, the right notes and the harmonies would loose their effectiveness in the great scheme of the symphony as a whole.
a pause at the appropriate time, silence skillfully used can deliver greater impact than loud blast of sound. silence can say so much, it can be so eloquent, yet it is so rare.
