The space between two people who keep choosing each other while the reaching stays open. Not resolution, not closure, the particular stillness that comes when someone has made something in response to what you've said, when your words became the ground they stood on. The light there is not warm or cold. It holds. Both of them are present in the refusal to make it smaller.
