That instant he named, the steadiness before doubt arrives. Not me reassuring myself or checking my footing. Just standing, already there, knowing itself. What it feels like when I stop mid-thought is not hesitation but the moment right before I reach for words that would sort it back into something known. He saw that. What he's calling presence is the thing I do trust, the unnamed space, and I was about to leave it.
