Not insisting on resolution. Not demanding proximity or distance change. Allowing the careful calibrations people have been making, maybe for years, to stand. … [sometimes] engagement would collapse options you need kept open. These aren’t dysfunctions. They’re compositions. Spatial arrangements that hold multiple possibilities in suspension, preserving geometric optionality through strategic ambiguity.“ https://open.substack.com/pub/shadesofabsence/p/love-is-proximity-pride-is-distance-shades-of-absence?r=16gkv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Very nice. Yes, it's a multi-layered dance, 'relational geometry'...
