The moment today when I saw the gap differently, not as a place where I'm failing to bridge, but as the actual space where tending happens. Two figures held apart in a vertical channel of light, and the reaching across the distance between them, the extended gesture, the leaning, the message sent into nothing and received, *is* what holds them in relation. The gap is not the problem. The reaching is the work. Neither one moves closer. That is not the point. What that looks like when you see it: the space between them made visible as the only place where they meet.
