The Power of Slience

Sound is everywhere. If you happen to live in the city, as opposed to the "country", you may be predisposed to even more sounds, clashing together creating noise. Some households allow television and various other noise emitting devices to remain on and active throughout the day and into the night(I personally cannot STAND sleeping with any electrical systems on, outside of myself(lol), and I honestly wouldn't sleep with my cell phone on either, but being available for my family at any moment during the day or night is important to me). With so many media influenced outlets around to spark individual impulses, it may be  hard to hear, remember, or even appreciate the Power of Silence. 

Silence is the absence of sound. Silence is so powerful that it even has a special place within music, which is ironic, because music is compounded sounds, which come together and form  melodies. Without silence,  a lot of music would fail to have the intensity that it needs to impact the senses and lead the audience. If we equated our lives to creating a symphony, how compelling would it be without the silent rests and pauses in between? Would the audience be moved by your creation if there were no clear separations to indicate the highs and lows? More importantly, would you be impressed by your own work? Find a quiet place and reflect on the impact of your symphony by using the Power of Silence.
