Telos
Breath
The first syllable in the universe was not spoken. The first breath exhaled light—out of darkness. When the heavens and the earth were created—God hovered, waited, and then exhaled everything remembered.
Darkness
Not shadow, darkness is older, before the fall, before the garden. Moral decay implies a failure mode. Such evocative imagery, as if the fall were non-fiction.
Word
Love is the embrace remembering how to stay and exhale. Word stays, shapes, and breath witnesses.
