Today's word is "fermata" the sustaining of a note, chord or rest for a duration longer than the indicated time value with the length of time determined by the performer.
Pause
Motion is the name of the game
Appointments and meetings
Phone calls and text messages
Facebook and FaceTime
Whiteboards and e-mails
Dinners and classes
Clocks and alarms
And on and on.
Where is the rest, the hold,
The fermata, the sabbath?
The time to return to silence.
To stop. And think. And be.
So that doing lies within the
parentheses of peace.
