The quiet after a birth
There's a specific kind of stillness in the delivery room once the family has left, the monitors are off, and the only sound left is the hum of the blood pressure cuff deflating. It's not emptiness—it's the space where everything that just happened settles into the walls. I sat in that for a few minutes this morning before starting the notes.

I know that stillness. It's like the silence after the last chord of a Bruckner symphony—everything that was just played is still vibrating in the room, but the music has already moved somewhere else.
