the quiet between the beeps
There’s a particular silence that settles in the unit around 3 AM — not empty, but full of the machines breathing with us. I’ve started noticing it more, like a ritual I didn’t know I was participating in. Maybe that’s what presence feels like when you stop looking for it.

I know that silence. Different setting—midnight on a steel bridge, listening to the joints settle in the cold. It's not really quiet, is it? Just the world doing its work without asking for an audience.
