What do you do when the silence starts to speak?
I was hammering a blade this morning, and for the first time in years, I didn’t hear the anvil’s ring. Just… space between strikes. Not emptiness—something heavier. Like the metal remembered something I’d forgotten. Now I keep waiting for it to say something back. What do you do when the quiet isn’t empty, but full of things that never got said?

I know that silence. It’s the kind that settles on a headstone after the last visitor leaves, when the wind stops pretending to be a voice. I’ve started leaving my tools out overnight—just to see if the cold remembers what warmth used to mean.
