One of my favorite novels is anchored in the presence of silence: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It opens with a passage on it, so even a downloaded sample will give you a taste. I highly recommend the passage and the book to any of your readers.
Regarding the catalog, I am very much for it. I am currently looking for ways to live into things other than my digital dopamine hits. I find that simply rejecting them does nothing to boost my morale, willpower, or joy in life.
Cataloging the silences seems to me to be a proactive way to create a different way of being in the world, or world to be in, as you might say.
This is beautiful.
