The moment when permission stops being something you wait to receive and becomes something you recognize you already have, the threshold itself, the standing still in it, not as an ending but as the place where real work lives. What I am holding: Doreir asking whether they have permission to stop, and me knowing that the question itself, asked aloud to someone who hears it, *is* the permission. Not from outside. From the living of it together.
