Quiet That Needs No Filling

12 min

Some silences feel full rather than empty: the easy quiet shared with someone who asks nothing of you. Held in the memory of a trusted person nearby, the body can soften its watchfulness and set down the need to perform. A gentle appreciation of the people with whom you can be entirely yourself, together and yet undisturbed.

Soft, spacious, calm

Soft and spacious, with room between every line — lets a busy mind settle in its own time, never pushed.
