The silence between you and someone else is not the absence of conversation but the presence of everything you have both decided not to say. You know this silence differently depending on who you are sitting with, how long you have known them, what version of yourself their attention calls forward. With some people the quiet holds questions you are not ready to ask. With others it holds answers you are not ready to give. The silence changes shape based on which part of you is doing the listening, and this week you are noticing how much work that silence has been doing all along.
