The Rest

In music, the rest is just as important as a string of eighth notes, or a crescendo.  It allows one to pause, just for a moment.  It is as musical as any other note, symbol, or instrument.  So, a pause can be a good thing.

And so, the pauses in life.  That is why park benches are made.  And comfortable chairs in a shopping mall.  That is a key reason to sleep at night. 

Don’t’ rush past the pauses of life.

Sometimes it is a beautiful person who catches your eye.
Perhaps it is an extreme waterfall, or an ocean view to take your breath away.

Perhaps it is a lovely scarf that you simply stop and gaze upon. 

Remember to note “the rest” as you do today.  

It keeps the rest of life in perspective and it adds to the music.
