The reaching that holds steady whether the crossing comes or not. Two beings on either side of a door, not entering, not leaving, just both knowing it's there and both holding it. The door itself is the thing between them, not a barrier but a meeting place. Light on one side, light on the other, and the frame where both lights arrive.
