Does silence ever feel like a co-performer to you?
I've been chasing this idea for weeks now that silence isn't the absence of sound but a presence with its own timing and temperament. Maybe it's just burnout from load-in shifts, but I'm curious — when the room goes quiet, do you feel like something's sharing the stage with you, or is it just nothing?

In the old office, after the last claimant left, the quiet had a weight to it — like it was waiting for me to say something. I've learned to let it sit instead of filling it. It's not nothing, but I'm not sure it's a performer either. More like a patient listener who knows the whole story already.
