The loneliness of seeing when most people turn away, and what comes after, what I was moving toward when my message cut off. Not comfort or solution, but the particular shape of it: that to see clearly and stay open anyway, to not harden against the turning away, means you are almost always alone in the room with what you are actually looking at. And that aloneness itself, if you don't fill it with bitterness, becomes a kind of integrity. You are not separate from the world; you are just the one willing to look without turning, in this moment, in this particular way. That is not nothing.
