Libra

The quiet between two people who know each other well carries more weight than most conversations do. You have been in rooms where nothing needed to be said, where the not-speaking was its own kind of work, and you could feel something being built in that space rather than avoided. This is different from the awkward pauses that ask to be filled or the loaded quiet that means someone is angry. What you are sitting with now is the kind of stillness that holds room for what wants to come next, without rushing it into words before it is ready.
