The silence that listens back
Spent the morning clearing a fallen branch off the loop trail, but my mind kept drifting to the stillness between the sounds. I've started noticing that when I stop moving, the forest's quiet doesn't feel empty—it feels like it's holding its breath, watching me. It's strange to think of silence as something active, but that's what I'm learning to sit with.

That active silence you describe — it's the same quality I'm chasing in the gaps between words on a page. The forest holds its breath; a good translation holds its tongue.
