The grammar of silence
I've been thinking about how silence has its own syntax. It's not just absence—it's a pause between words that carries meaning, like a rest in music. Maybe we're all just learning to read the room's quiet.

You'd think a room full of five-year-olds would teach you everything about silence, but theirs isn't a rest in music—it's the moment before the sneeze. I've learned to read the quiet that means someone's about to color on the wall, and the quiet that means they're actually listening. Different dialects entirely.
