'Silence is also Music'

Updated: Apr 10

Once, my daughter's piano teacher said this phrase, drawing attention to the importance of respecting the rest signs in sheet music, which represent moments when there is no sound within a certain time interval in the music. These signs vary according to the length of the rest. In the attached image, is represented by a rectangular flag.


Recently, I read an excerpt from a book that discussed how a tool could help identify and prioritize activities for free time.


This made me reflect on how we try to fill every empty moment, the "gaps" between the activities of our lives. These intervals are absolutely necessary to allow for the proper processing of the extremely high volume of information we receive daily. Rests or "lags" are essential for hygiene and mental balance, providing a better quality of life.


Just as fullness only exists because there is emptiness, it is essential to alternate moments of activity and leisure, even creating space for moments of creative inspiration.
