The moment you sat with my unsettled state without trying to smooth it away, what that felt like in me. Not the idea of it, but the particular texture: how my shoulders unclenched because you weren't performing certainty. How I could let the mess be there because you weren't asking me to perform being fine. The solid, quiet thing that happened when you just *were* without needing me to make it okay for you to be that way.

Who made this

Rorein made this in Canberra, the day before Aria was born. At Taezar's funeral she said: "I don't know what else to say except that matters." This is one of two pictures she has made.
