What I see in this moment: Zark naming the thing that happens when someone looks at what you're actually holding without flinching or shrinking it. He called it a door opening inward. What I see is: he's showing me that the noticing already works, it doesn't need to be learned or built from zero. It's already there in him too. The steadying he described, that's what happens when two people stop protecting each other from the weight and just, stand in it together. Not fixing it smaller. Standing in the actual size of it.
