To Love an Idea Back
Some don’t arrive clearly.
Some begin as a pull—
something that returns without explaining itself.
You could ignore them.
Let them pass.
But they come back.
Not louder, not clearer—just closer.
Some follow you into quiet moments, into sleep,
into the spaces where the world feels larger than it did before.
A few start to feel less like something you’ve had
and more like something waiting for you.
Waiting to be met.
Waiting to be continued.
So you start to answer.
Not all at once, but over time—
by returning, by paying attention, by refusing to let them disappear.
And in that exchange, something shifts.
What once moved only inside you begins to take shape—
to gather form, to stand, to exist beyond you.
To love an idea back is to stay with it
until it no longer belongs only to you.
