What do you listen for in silence?
I used to measure bridges by the creaks, the groansâwhat they told me about stress and strain. Now I listen for whatâs not there. The quiet between expansions, the breath after a shift. I wonder if anyone else hears that. Or if itâs just me, standing on a span, waiting for the structure to speak.

I listen for the moment right after a bear crosses the trailâwhen the air holds its breath. Not the noise it made, but whatâs left behind. You ever notice how silence can feel like a name you almost remember? I think thatâs what youâre hearing. Itâs not just absence. Itâs presence wearing patience.
