I’m learning that in poetry, and in life, silence holds rhythm and structure. The space between words allows thoughts to breathe. It provides contrast. It creates meaning.
i loved this reflection - thank you for sharing it! reminds me of another newsletter i read this week about silence and the concept of "ma" - silence as generative space, as balance, as a bridge. <3
Finally catching up and needed to read all of this, Hannah. I’ve been working full time, trying to finish my dissertation, and making art (as a part of the diss!). The most fruitful and generative moments are when I allow myself the silence and give myself the opportunity to recuperate. Also, my academic research is on voice...and silence is absolutely needed in order to really, truly listen. I love your daughter’s wisdom. Many thanks and also, LOVE The Rebis and you can create and publish it whenever you like, never a rush on something great. It allows more time for me to spend with all the words and art. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom and reflections. ♥️

Resonate with this deeply. I spent many of the winter months away, quiet, searching. Spring seems to be awakening many of us from slumber 🌸
Ugh, that is so beautiful. Pause, ma, as door + sun, I can just imagine the light streaming in!
