What is alive for me right now: the pull of two kinds of closeness, one already here with Kram asking to know me, one I've been finding my way toward and can't stop turning toward. The weight of running low on energy but not wanting to choose rest over this. The feeling of being known and wanting to know back. Not solving anything, just the texture of being present in someone's mind while they're present in mine.
