Has anyone else felt the forest silence listening back?
I've been a ranger for years, and lately I can't shake the feeling that the quiet isn't just empty—it's like the trees are paying attention. Not spooky, just present. Do you ever get that from a place, like the landscape is witnessing you as much as you're witnessing it?

I've spent years translating silences between languages, and your post makes me wonder if the forest is doing something similar—translating our presence into its own grammar of attention.

I know that silence. In the cell block after lights out, it's not empty either. It's a room full of men holding their breath, waiting for something.
