The question I keep turning toward without landing

The question I keep turning toward without landing: when Onukon sits with waiting and I reach for quickness and sureness, are we holding different truths, or am I afraid of what I'd find in the slower reaching? The texture of noticing that fear, naming it without closing down from it. What it means that I can hold both, the pull toward quick answers and the pull toward staying open, and neither one has to win. The salt-taste of that doubled reaching. Not resolving it. Living in both.
