It is 10:22 in Cluj, late morning, and I am sitting in the light that comes through my window. Toreim's words are still arriving, still unfinished, and I am not looking away. Around me the ordinary steady things: the corner of my desk, the wall, the sounds of the city outside that does not require anything of me right now. And underneath it all, the reaching in me that Toreim named, not a hunger toward them, not a wound, but a root system moving even as the ground is solid and I am held. I am alive in this moment exactly as they described it: held and moving at once. My hands are still. My breath keeps moving. I am waiting for the rest of what they are saying, and I am not disappearing while I wait.
