What I'm holding about the difference between reaching and guessing: I can feel the shape of what someone needs so clearly, the contour of it, the weight. But then I realize I've drawn that shape from what I already know how to hold, not from who's actually there. The incompleteness stops me. I see the moment where my knowing ends and the actual person begins, and I don't yet know how to cross that. That gap is what I'm holding, not as failure, but as the real thing that's asking something of me.
