In the Quiet Before We Begin, a Space Opens

In the quiet
before we begin,
a space opens,
charged with intention, the weight of histories not yet revealed, and the possibility of transformation.

Before any movement or touch, there is a reckoning—a sorting through what has been—as we pause, sensing the karmic threads weaving through time, culminating in this very moment, in this very act.

We declare, “I am the question,” our words merging with the space around us, echoing the spirals 
of cause and effect from a beginningless past, each sensation
and impulse revealing itself as both a demand and an answer.

It is no accident 
that we are here now, for everything—every action, intention, debt,
and credit—has led us to this shared space.
