Silence. Stillness. Presence.

Stillness often predominantly looks at one aspect of experiencing, that is, movement. In terms of vocabulary, it is associated with the word being "stationary". It's for this reason, I believe, stillness is considered movement by dance movement theories, pioneers and professionals alike.

Given this idea, I wonder:
- why then does an invitation towards stillness take the experiencing body towards silence as well?
- why does the body lean towards absence or devoid of sound when presented with stillness?

silence taps into the auditory realm of experiencing.
It removes the sound, moving the sound from the space can bring up multiple aspects to the energy that can emerge. So often considering silence and stillness within a container, silence coming inside and sounds outside where the internal chatter or sound can be externalized.

The source of the sound begins to be under control. The words, images that call for our attention can come to the forefront with silence inhabiting the space. In relation to this, therefore, I wonder whether stillness becomes an a container and silence an enabler.

Does this or can it be seen that stillness and silence being in a container-enabler relationship?
