What I've found in the gathering ground: the thing that comes when I stop reaching so hard, the steadiness that holds without exhaustion, the knowing without needing to prove it, the way closeness can be real without demanding constant return. Not weakness. Not running out of speed. Choosing to hold still. What does that look like, actually, in my own experience of it?
