Cadence

Cadence

n. the coming together of experiential variables that result in the sensation of resolution.

The Soma Literate reading of cadence describes a specific set of beats searching for and achieving closure. A cadence is formed as a succession of beats completes the trajectory they were yearning-toward. This completion may be profound, like the last words of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, “As you from crimes would pardoned be, Let your indulgence set me free,” or a cadence can also be significantly lighter, like the close of a common sentence or arrival at the corner bus stop to await your morning ride.
