Caesura 𝄞
The breaks
and the rest
make the rhythm.
Wouldn’t everything be
so cacophonous
if we never stopped
to breathe?
Our faces blue,
our fingers aching,
if we only ever wailed
a single
long
note.
I was frustrated that I missed yesterday’s note to self; but honestly I needed a rest. To make myself feel better, I thought about how rests create rhythm in music, just as much as notes do. Yet another metaphor for taking breaks to add to my list.
This note to self was written July 15th, 2021.
In related news, remember to break out a little music this weekend.
