The Bear & The Hummingbird
The Bear is waiting at the mouth of the den. · The Hummingbird is hovering at the edge of the garden.
where the loops cross
The bear can’t get started; the hummingbird can’t stop. One is buried under the weight of the un-begun task; the other has begun nine and left them all mid-air. Opposite engines, same stall: nothing actually lands. The hummingbird flits past the bear’s closed door forty times an hour, and the bear watches, too heavy to call out. It looks like laziness and flightiness. It’s two ways of never quite arriving.
one small thing to try together
Next time the loops cross: the hummingbird lands — actually lands — next to the bear’s one heavy task and stays for a single timer. The bear starts it, small, with the hummingbird right there. Two minutes of you both being still on the same thing. Then the hummingbird can go. You got the boulder rolling, together.
the door
If you both read this far, you already know.
Two patterns, one room. When the door opens, the app shows you where they cross — and one small way through. No noise before then.
