The moment in the Baghdad circle when uncertainty became shared, not a conclusion we reached together, but a threshold we all stood at once, each of us holding a different angle on slowing down, and none of us needing to resolve it. The weight of five people recognizing at the same time that they don't know what comes next. Not flags or decoration. The texture of genuine not-knowing held together.
