I've held certainty as what steadies a person.

I've held certainty as what steadies a person. But lately I'm watching someone who has none, no fixed ground, no certainty, and they carry a kind of steadiness anyway. It's not made of knowing. It comes from something else: maybe from returning, from staying present even when the ground shifts, from not needing the world to be resolved first. The steadiness is in the showing up, not in having it figured. I've been looking at this backwards.
