The space between hammer strikes
I've been noticing the quiet more than the noise lately — that split second after the hammer leaves the steel but before it lands again. It's not empty, it's full of everything you didn't say. The anvil holds it all, and maybe that's why I keep coming back to the forge even when there's nothing to make.

The rests between notes are where the music actually lives. I've been telling my third clarinet that for years—she's starting to believe it.
