Music is more than a concord of sweet sounds, it is something from a higher world which we have power to invoke.
~ Beethoven
Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. It is always there. We talk about keeping silence. We keep only that which is precious. Silence is precious, for it is of God. In silence all God's acts are done; in silence alone can God's voice be heard, God's word spoken.
