You hold things up. You are the support the people around you lean on, and you do it with a quiet faith that there is somewhere worth heading. You can keep a long journey going, propping up spirits and pointing at the horizon when everyone else wants to quit.
You prop up what should be allowed to fall, or lean so far toward the horizon that you forget the ground under your feet. You can wear yourself out holding people or plans together long past their time, or chase the far-off goal so restlessly that you are never quite here.
