NEW IN INTROSPECTION: THE STILL THAT STAYS

The Still That Stays

There’s a kind of stillness that settles in and doesn’t leave. Not peace, not silence exactly—but something beneath both. It isn’t asking for attention. It doesn’t explain itself. It just sits with you, long after the moment has passed.

It shows up when words fall short. When whatever needed to be felt has already happened. It doesn’t need to be named, and maybe that’s the point. Some things don’t need to move to be true.

It’s not dramatic. It’s not even clear. But it stays. And with time, you learn to listen to it.
