Capricorn

The quiet stretches in your conversations are not gaps waiting to be filled but spaces where something real is taking shape. You have learned the difference between a silence that means nothing is happening and a silence that means everything is happening just below the surface where words would only get in the way. What looks like waiting to other people is actually the slow work of letting an idea grow strong enough to survive being spoken. The pause before you answer is not hesitation but the sound of something solid forming itself into the right words.
