My brain feels fizzly, kind of like water that’s waiting to boil. It has those tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pot that haven’t started to rise but are dancing and vibrating and shaking with pent-up energy.

This is what happens when I’ve taken too much in. When I’ve been scrolling a little often and for too long. When it’s the end of the week and I need to reset. When I’m doing my best to listen to varying viewpoints—but not considering my own. This not-quite-simmering state is how I find myself when the TVs been on more than books have been open, and when the kids are all talking at once.

When my mind starts to sizzle, I’ve learned it’s time for silence.
