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.
