📻 The Silent Symphony
Hey there, Kodiak Crossing. Callie at Dawn, back on the airwaves at KWAC after a brief intermission, compliments of an unruly cold. Yes, yours truly was temporarily silenced, a foreign experience for a disc jockey, I must say.
Dr. Daniel Levy, our town's go-to for medical insights, came to check on me. Now Daniel, he's a man of the modern world, with his medical degrees and city habits. He handed me a list of instructions, the do's and don'ts of cold management, reminding me to rest my voice.
In contrast, our very own Nayeli, with his boundless wisdom of Native American traditions, suggested that I spend some time with nature, embrace the silence, and listen to the world around me. So, I did both, embraced the silence while I rested.
In this pause, a quiet I'm not accustomed to, I realized there is a song, even in the silence. I heard the rustling of leaves, the whispering of the wind, the calls of distant birds. The sounds that are often drowned out in the cacophony of our daily lives.
Silence, Kodiak Crossing, is a canvas. It allows us to paint our thoughts, to let our minds wander, and to listen. And in that listening, we connect to something bigger than us.
So, as we jump back into the chatter of life, I ask you to remember the power of silence. Make room for it in your day. Listen to the world around you, the symphony that life plays even when we're quiet.
As we contemplate the beauty of silence, let's transition with "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy. Allow its gentle notes to bridge the space between the silent symphony and the hum of our daily lives. Remember, Kodiak Crossing, silence is not the absence of sound, but the beginning of a deeper listening.
