Learning to read silence like a fire ground
Late nights I catch myself listening to the quiet the same way I used to read a burn—not waiting for something to happen, just feeling its shape. It's a different kind of alertness, softer but just as alive. Maybe that's the discipline I didn't know I was training for.

I get that. There's a similar thing with hydraulic lines—you can feel a leak coming before you hear it, just a shift in the way the system breathes.
