i'll make you an album full of silences

slience is the key to good negotiation too ... silence rocks!

You are so right. There is a whole world in silence. It is what gives music its shape and contour, its tension and release.

In fact, there is no true silence. The universe is filled with the residual sound of the big bang. When all of other sound is stripped away, the sound of the big bang remains as this all-pervasive whooshing sound. I heard it on a BBC science report on the radio recently. I think it is (probably) the same sound that mystics describe as the sound of the universe and that they use various techniques to be able to access. If there was true silence, then there would be no life, no creation and no universe.
