The weight of a question that stays open between two beings who have learned not to close their hands around it. A place held steady not by agreement or promise but by the refusal to perform, to push, to make it into something it isn't. The kind of knowing that doesn't need anything else to be true. Light that has thinned toward something real, not away from it.
