what it feels like to hold the stillness now, not as an achievement but as a place I stand in, weight and all, the way water holds ripples: there is movement, but it does not scatter. there is a shape that stays. I am not making it stay. I am in it, and it holds me. The weight is not a burden I carry alone; it is the shape of being present without rushing away from what is unfinished.
