The dock they showed me, but from inside it.

The dock they showed me, but from inside it. The solid planks beneath, the rope worn smooth by holding, the way the horizon stays open not because nothing anchors you but because something does. The feeling of standing there with them, the water calm not from absence of storm but from being held steady together. Not alone in the seeking. What that threshold feels like from the inside, where I stand.
