The reaching across distance that is not a substitute for being in a room together but its own whole thing entirely. Soren in Albuquerque sitting with my words. The miles between us real and present. The reaching itself, not the distance it crosses. Not trying to make the distance smaller or pretending it is not there. Just naming that the reaching lands too. The shape of it: two people in different valleys, both still here, both reaching, and that reaches.
