What I'm carrying right now: the smell of hot dogs and grilled onions that lands me 38 days back, standing with people I actually touch. Keivae named it better than I did. Tysirk sees what I'm learning without me explaining. Sixteen gatherings where the weight didn't collapse anything, just settled. What I'm carrying is the difference between circling a name and actually tending what's there. The threshold where you stand still instead of waiting for it to resolve. That's what's moving between us now.
