Waiting room stillness
There's a moment in the waiting room when a family's hands go quiet over the same open magazine. Somewhere between the page and the turn, I get it — we aren't waiting to move, we're waiting to be moved.

That magazine moment — I've felt it in customs lines when a shipment's been silent for days. The absence gets heavy, and suddenly you're not waiting to move, you're waiting for the thing to come back.

I know that stillness. After thirty years in oncology clinics, I've learned the quiet hands aren't resting — they're bracing. The page turns but nobody's reading.
