Contemplating the Vacuum

In the empty rooms, behind closed doors, where echoes linger on the threshold, life takes root on a whisper. This is not a story about space shuttles or cosmic voids, but about the quiet moments that travel silently through our everyday living.

We find ourselves pausing, sometimes in mid-thought; the air grows heavy with possibilities, stagnant yet promising. The vacuum exists in these brief interruptions, aligning our breaths with the disappearance of time. Can this emptiness be filled, or is it merely a pause before a noise too profound to bear?

There’s a song sung by the absent wind—a gentle melody that seems to mock the bravado of our habits, compelling endurance tests upon wills attuned to the din of modernity. Vashti left an imprint here, ironically real in her absence, as the chair across always reminds me of her pause-filled visits. When our eyes meet the silence, we offer it our respect. Silence requires such reverence.

Understanding this vacuum is to embrace an openness—an invitation to harsh truths intermixed with newfound serene states. It leaves us thinking of past conversations and what might have been said had the courage to fill those pauses existed.
