Theology Today Journal Club retreat occurs three times per year. Participants this time will share insights on the poetry of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz. His work reflects hope in a cultural wasteland.
Music is sound AND silence. It is the spaces BETWEEN the notes that create rhythm, melody, and meaning, and the greater the composer -- and the perfornance -- the better the quality of the silence. Legendary pianist Artur Schnabel said that it wasn't the notes but the silences between them he played better than other people. A few seconds more or less at crucial moments in the performance of a piece may mean the difference between a mundane and a transcendent experience.
