This one leans into naming—its seductions, its limits, and its quiet magic:
TOPO:
To name is to know, is it not?
RHEO:
It can be. But naming also cuts.
It fixes what was still becoming.
TOPO:
Then names are both anchors and cages?
RHEO:
Yes. They steady the world—
but they can also still it too soon.
TOPO:
And yet, without names, how do we reach one another?
RHEO:
We don’t abandon naming.
We treat it gently—as invitation, not conclusion.
TOPO:
So a name is not the thing.
It’s a gesture toward it.
RHEO:
Exactly. A way of saying:
“I meet you here, even if I do not yet know all of you.”
RHEO & TOPO:
To name is not to own—
It is to call, to touch, to begin again.
