You’ve noticed this, maybe?

You’re in a room with high windows, facing the sun. You can see, you are, casting a shadow.

Maybe you hold your hand out towards your leg. And, the shadow of your fingertips and your leg merge just before you expect it.

Wait. What?

Try it. Look. See the shadows straining to merge. They curve outwards and connect.

I call this the “penumbra”.

Look, I don’t know what other telekinetics call it. They will have their words for it. We don’t exactly wear our weirding badges in public.

Let me tell you a secret, though. The penumbra - that space, the gap, where the shadows bulge and merge - that is where I move things with my mind.

Try it. You’ll know. Try it.
