Not entirely sure of attribution - Donn perhaps?  In case you didn't know this about me, one of my big peeves is people who don't return my attempts at communication.    Guess I'm not the only one...

The thing about silence
Is that it's hard to know from whence it comes
Is it indifference
Cold it be disapproval?

When you look at silence
It does not look

I agree with you, my dear. Silence can mean so many things. It inspires anxiety in us because we start to fear the worst. Even the simplest "hey, too busy to respond right now" is so relieving. Thanks for sharing this. It's really lovely.

This reminds me, we're trying to schedule lunch soon, yes? I can do Friday or next week, but not Friday next week.
