Conversation

"If nothing else, silence reminds you to pay attention to the nature of things. Calibrating your senses, learning to recognise a glimmer of something real, turning in the deep. You have no idea what's going to happen, if anything happens at all. But that's alright, you've got nowhere to be; so you might as well sit back and soak in the suspense, and thank the gods it's still possible to get lost in the middle of nowhere."
