Where the Edge Softens
There is a place where things begin to blur.
Not disappear.
Not resolve.
Just soften.
Edges lose their certainty.
What felt separate
begins to lean into what surrounds it.
For a long time,
I thought clarity meant definition.
Clean lines.
Clear direction.
Something I could point to and name.
But the more I looked,
the more I began to notice something else.
The field does not divide itself.
It holds difference
without needing to separate it.
Sometimes what we call confusion
is simply a place where things are still meeting.
Not yet distinct.
Not yet formed.
There is no need to rush this.
No need to sharpen
what is still soft.
A form emerges slowly.
In its own time.
These days,
I pay more attention to that.
Not how to define,
but how to stay
where the edge is still changing.
