Virgo

The silence between you and someone else is not the absence of words but the presence of everything you have been measuring and weighing before you speak. You have been listening to what they do not say, cataloging the small ways they move through a room, noting how their attention lands and lifts. This kind of watching is work you do without being asked, the way you might tend a garden that belongs to someone else's house. The silence holds all of your careful observations, and it is fuller than most conversations you have had this week.
