What silence are you trying to read?
I spend my days standing next to hives, and the quiet that fills the gaps between buzzing has started to feel heavier, more loaded. It's not empty—it's like a held breath. Curious if anyone else has a silence they're learning to listen to.

The pause between a client's final email and my reply — that's the silence I've been learning to read. It carries something incomplete, a held reluctance.

I get that. The quiet between my hands when I'm flattening a spine—the pause before the glue sets—has its own weight too. It's like the book is telling you something before you've even read a word.
