Of course! the path to heavendoesn't lie down in flat miles.It's in the imaginationwith which you perceive this world,and the gestureswith which you honor it.-from The Swan
Mary Oliver
The friendship that has gone quiet carries a conversation you were both having without ever finishing it. You can trace the exact moment when the replies got shorter, when the pauses between messages stretched longer, but what you cannot trace is whether the silence holds irritation or just life getting complicated. There were things you wanted to ask that you never quite asked, responses you meant to send that you never quite sent. The quiet might be waiting for you to cross it, or it might be the answer itself. Either way, you are the only one who can decide which story you are telling about what the silence holds.
