"Silence." - Marco M.

Silence

I realize with amazement how difficult it is for people to be silent. We live in an era characterized by horizontal or superficial hyper-communication, where there is no time (silence) to deepen anything. Tons of words spewed out without having anything to communicate. Rivers of sounds that should soothe loneliness but instead exacerbate it.

Silence is the needed space for contemplation and prayer, it is the necessary element for feeling and communicating through the heart and, paradoxically, the only possible space to come out of isolation and find communion with others. However, the contemporary zombie needs a continuous hum, is an unaware junkie of background noise and craves continuous distraction and hyper-stress.

Today, silence must also be exercised and regained. Personally, as a music lover, only the sounds that create the magic of silence make sense. All we do here is save the endangered silence.
