There is a silence
which precedes speech,
there is a silence which
is instead of speech.
Quoted from a novel, read by a reader. Thanks for passing it on.
Looking at the quote now I would say that there is a silence within speech. And that silence isn’t an absence of sound perhaps more a fullness of sound. A full emptiness? Perhaps.
They say it is the silence between the notes that gives music it’s meaning.
I hope you are well and that silence is forming the melody of your day in unique ways!
Many bows,
Enida
Yes indeed. I have not had that much to do with music but I understand what you are saying. As for the melody of my day! It is fairly tuneful…

Thank you Jack.
