In ascolto del silenzio

Listening to silence is an elusive and precious activity, like almost everything that revolves around silence. In the vocabulary of the emotions and frames of mind, silence is an element that cures and restores. Therefore, it isn’t only an absence of distress but a moment of respite and depth in order to freely plumb one’s own frame of mind. Eugenio Borgna proposes silence as an opportunity in various settings, from psychopathology to literature with Rainer Maria Rilke and Emily Dickinson, the silence of sadness and the silence of solitude. To conclude that silence isn’t the act of being quiet and, above all, silence is full of meaning.
