the song of silence

inviting silence into our lives
not as a guest, not as an activity, not as an imperative or yet another mission
but
rather as the beginning of a return to oneself

a presence within oneself
in retreat
a fading away
listening!

stop, pause, put down what we are doing, stand still, let go of the rush forward
the line gives way to a v a s t o p e n s p a c e

Morton Feldman, Intermission VI, excerpt
the minute of silence in tribute like a threshold to another texture and vibration

the silence within
primary, essential, unalterable presence: our basso continuo, the resonance of Being
continuous bass
this deep, vibrant, nourishing silence
obviously…
like a response, an antidote, a straightening of the spine
to the stunned, petrified, bewildered, dumbfounded silence in the face of the surrounding astonishment
György Kurtág, Grabstein für Stephan, excerpt (do not turn up the volume, it is deliberately very, very soft!)
