inconsonance ― lack of harmony: disagreement.
QotD:
"When most people step beyond the city, what they first hear is silence. But if they listen closely, they can hear voices: birdsong, the incessant chirp and buzz of insects; water gurgling in a stream, a frog parliament, arguing down by a pond. Summer sounds. It's in the winter that the silence is more profound. Sometimes it seems like all that exists is the sound of the wind. The world is dreaming, hidden under the ice and snow, waiting for spring. Wonder and Mystery are caught in a kind of winter these days. We don't have time for them anymore; they no longer seem relevant. But their relevance can't be measured by the same yardstick that we use to measure everything else. Understanding, not what they are, but that they are, is what's important. Remembering them now is almost a gift." ― Charles de Lint, Hedgework & Guessery
