Kyoto does not shout; it exhales. Incense rises from temples, moss drinks in centuries, and silence rings louder than bells. Here, stillness is a fragrance, sharp, restrained, reverent. To breathe Kyoto is to practice attention honed to a blade.
Stillness is not absence. Stillness is presence, distilled, inhaled, worn.
