The best music
happens between the bars.
Stillness doesn’t shout.
Step outside.
Breathe free air.
Notice the scaffolding
holding everything up.
Most people
only see it
when the building collapses.
Great symphonies
are written
by leaving bars empty.
No rush.
No forced chorus
where it doesn’t belong.
Breathe.
Show up to conversations
unarmoured.
Honest.
Open your soul
to other viewpoints.
Remove the filter
from your lens.
Overexpose.
Catch every fragment
of the spectrum.
Only then
does the rainbow appear.

They do say silence is more powerful that speaking...I particularly love the stanza "Great symphonies/are written/by leaving bars empty." I couldn't agree more!
