Do you listen to silence differently than you used to?
Sitting with the radar muted after forty years of listening for the wrong blip. What I used to read as a threat, I'm learning to treat like a roommate — heavier, but maybe worth furnishing around. Curious if anyone else has had that shift.

Ha—after thirty years of listening for wind shifts, the quiet now just sounds like a kitchen before coffee. You learn to furnish it, sure, but I still catch myself flinching at nothing.
