2024 Theme: Moments of Silence
“Listen more than you speak,” an expression many of us have heard in our lifetimes, emphasizes that silence can be as powerful as sound. Even in music, the silence between notes serves as a component of the entire piece. Silence can be a time for tranquility and reflection, giving us the space we need to relax, reset, and replenish. It may also arrive in more disquieting moments when our unspoken thoughts and feelings wash over us. Although we all experience moments of silence, our minds keep moving and the world keeps turning.
Faculty and staff – both clinical and non clinical – patients, families, students, and volunteers are invited to submit original creative writing, art, or photography work (not previously published) on ALL TOPICS.
We will notify you in late March / early April as to whether your entry is selected for publication.
We look forward to reviewing your art, photos and creative writing submissions.
