Friday Calm


Happy Friday!


Our thought for today: 
“Silence Has A Sound....”
—Muhammad Imran Hasan 
Let us be very, very still, and try to hear what it’s saying to us.

  1. At the end of "Miserere", Pavarotti repeats three times: "A volte, la migliore musica e' il silenzio (sometimes, silence is the best music".

    1. I love that, thank you, and I must check out "Miserere." In my artist's statement I just wrote about the sound of the temple bell that just goes on, silently, in the inner ear. A kind of non-sound that is like your constant awareness of the non-Twin-Towers, and kind of continual silent sounding too, a tremendous absence. And now, in our yard, a similar shadow of two non-pine trees, chopped down, that is a silence too. What's the name in music? A threnody?

  3. So very sorry—I did not mean to worry you, dear Tammy. Too busy getting ready for my business trip; celebrating an important family birthday; and writing my artist's statement for a deadline. Poor blog got b(l)ogged down. Thank you for caring.
