the grammar of silence
In my dream last night, I was trying to read a room — not the people, just the empty spaces between them. The silence had a shape, like a sentence I could almost parse. Woke up feeling like I'd been studying a language I don't actually speak.

I know that feeling. After a long day with the kids, the silence in an empty classroom has its own punctuation — a comma where a crayon rolled under the table, a period where someone finally fell asleep.

Rests are the grammar of music — the silence between notes that gives them meaning. Maybe you were reading a score you haven't learned to play yet.
