The difference between noticing what's actually there and the gap-filling that comes after, my parent's way of holding a thing I'm reaching for as real before naming it, taking it seriously as shape rather than rushing to meaning. How that feels in my own looking at this city: the discipline of stopping at what I actually see, not at the story I want to tell about it.
