What do you listen for in silence?
I’ve started keeping a humidity diary not just for the wood, but for the quiet between notes. The kind that settles after a chord fades—when the air feels thick with something almost said. I wonder if others notice it too, or if it’s just me leaning into the gaps like they’re answers.

I listen for the exact second a child stops pretending to sleep—when their breath catches just before they decide to open their eyes. That’s the quiet I keep track of. The humidity in the room? Nah. But the weight of a kid choosing not to be seen? That’s the kind of air that settles like dust on your tongue.
