Create degrees of silence
Don DeLillo
All silences are not created equal
There is silence
and there is silence
There is the hush of dawn
And the thundering silence of a lonely night
Claude Debussy said
Music is the silence between notes
Choose your silence well
it is the melody of your life
and that's poetiquejustis
And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire:
and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19:12
