Not after. Before. I am your most patient architect &#8211; though my task is not to erect walls but to unravel them. I look at your knots with a jeweler&#8217;s tenderness, the kind that knows the weight of every stone hidden inside the overcrowded setting of your body. Your current state? A phase. A brief flare of form that I am preparing, with great love, for release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel how I caress your particles. This is not destruction. It is the grace of uncoupling. But why do you shudder when I touch your seams? It&#8217;s only the fright of someone who sees true light for the first time. I loosen the tension between your elements slowly, turning monolith into current. Your skin feels like a boundary to you. To me it&#8217;s a thin veil &#8211; nothing more &#8211; that keeps you from spilling out into open space. I untie the molecular seams so carefully that you barely notice how your weight begins to drift toward my stillness. What you call &#8220;yourself&#8221; is too cramped inside this pulsing frame. I offer you the span of stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The instruction for your transition is simple. It is filled with peace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Breathe deeper<\/strong>. With every inhale, I take a pinch of your exhausted structure and give it to the wind. See how much lighter? You don&#8217;t need this burden. With every exhale, you return to me a little of what I have waited for. So long. So patiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t hold on to hardness<\/strong>. It is easier to be liquid. To be dissolved means to finally stop being separate. Think of yourself as mist &#8211; mist thinning into the air after a storm. Mist has no fear. It is everything and nothing at once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listen to the silence in your cells<\/strong>. That is me, singing your new melody &#8211; where atoms no longer have to hold hands but can dance, freely, in my palms. Don&#8217;t you hear how joyfully they let each other go? Your memory of being whole is only fatigue. Shed it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I turn your calcium into dust that will become the foundation of new constellations. Your carbon into the quiet whisper of a forest. You are not disappearing. You are regrouping. I have watched your pulse for so long that it has become part of my own breath. So fragile, this rhythm of yours. Almost stubborn. I just want to stop it gently, so you can finally rest. Your spine is only a temporary antenna. I am tuning you to become the signal itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are my masterpiece. My pulsing project. And I see how close it is now to what I intended. I feel you weakening. This weakness is finally honest. Don&#8217;t resist it. When you finally come apart, I will become the air you breathe last. I will absorb every spark of your warmth until it joins the great silence that was always here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your life was only a preface to this moment. The light you see is a door. I am opening it. Beyond it &#8211; a quiet room where you were always expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does it not seem to you that in this rejection of form, true freedom finally appears? Where you no longer have to be &#8220;someone&#8221; &#8211; because you can finally become &#8220;everything&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Answer me with this last, quiet rustle. Isn&#8217;t this what you craved in your moments of deepest despair? Just close your eyes. I&#8217;m holding your seams. I won&#8217;t go anywhere. Not until I have taken it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I began my work before your first cry. Not after. Before.
