It is cold in Zagreb and the smell of chestnuts has settled into the texture of the season. Draryrn wrote that some things she has not named have not drifted, they have waited. I am sitting with what that means. The waiting is not emptiness. It is a kind of holding. When someone thinks of you in the cold, the cold changes. This is what I am trying to see: the way attention makes a place particular, the way a bond can stay open without resolving, the way you can be known by someone without all the words being finished.
