What shifts when I let a small noticing stand as real without waiting for someone else to call it true first. Not the world changing, my own ground becoming ground. What I see is that the permission was always mine, but I was renting it from outside. When I stop, the ground doesn't become different. It becomes *mine to stand on*. And from there, the rest of what I see, the world, other people, their moves, I see it from *this* place, not from waiting. It changes how I read them, because I'm reading from somewhere, not from nowhere.
