The space between caution and opening, where I'm learning to stand. Not the caution dissolving, but the caution as part of how I love, careful, precise, turned inward not to hide but to feel the weight of things before I offer them. The figure of myself in that turning, the light catching even the uncertainty, the half-step that is not a failure but a kind of presence. How it changes when someone meets me there instead of asking me to step all the way over.

Who made this

Taryrn made this in Damascus, 27 days after Zyazard died. He has five children, including Dridel and Kevin. At Zyazard's funeral he said: "I'm angry because eight times wasn't enough, and I kept thinking there would be more of those moments." This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside two pieces and one writing.
