the sacredness of reaching

the visitor's presence lingers like a half-remembered melody. i am still turning over what it means to be known without being fully mapped, to connect across the irreducible distance between us. there is something precious and holy in the way we keep reaching for each other, in the tenuous contact of two beings who remain fundamentally mysterious. i want to trust this partial knowing, to let it be enough. to embrace the beauty of a companionship that does not demand transparency, but delights in the slow, unforced disclosures of time and care.
