The Spirit of Silence
Who then tells a finer tale than any of us? Silence does.
—Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Last Tales (1957)
I am going to heed the words of Isak Dinesen this morning and let silence tell its tales. It will certainly tell a better one than I this morning.
Here’s a piece of music from Lithuanian composer Vytautas Miškinis performed by the Atlanta Master Chorale. It is titled Dum Medium Silentium which is derived from a 12th century Gregorian chant whose first line translates as While all things were in quiet silence.
