Near Poet’s Seat Island, downstream from the Great Falls, Massachusetts 

What captures the heart

 is not just what is said

or sung or played 

It is in the silences

subtle & deep

in reach within 

It is in the silence 

where the thought 

of the artist is found

Where the heart

is a place for you 

to listen 

We can say many words

yet it is when we say none 

that we can

truly hear each other 

This is Ahmad Jamal’s contribution:

to understand the power of music

The rest notes too tell a story

Enjoy the silence 

Learn from the silence 

(silencio)

& spread the message of silence
