Understanding looks at how an event comes into being.
Knowing looks towards what already exists.

Music is the place where Silence meets sound.

So, we have two immediate perspectives:

1.              Hearing Silence within the sound.
2.              Hearing sound within the Silence.

These are the perspectives of analytical mind. A third perspective:

3.              Hearing music by holding together both sound and Silence.

Silence is not silent.
