I think sometimes people get nervous when the other person stops talking because perhaps they can't help but wonder what the person's real thoughts are mainly about them. It brings it all back to ego and how fragile, overinflated or balanced it is. It takes a real skill to know how to truly listen and to do that you have to be able to sit quietly with your thoughts too before speaking in order to be understood. Thanks for bringing all these great words and photos to this thread.
