description
The beginning is the moment where the dark excess of the hardened past oozes out, conditioning the trajectory of the life of the being. Life cuts through the metaphors and platitudes in order to set in motion the journey of the being.
To journey forward is to depart. The seed must stretch its limbs to find the bud within itself. Bearing our own weight, we march on, entombed in the exigencies of the beyond.
Ultimately, all work is always to recreate, not to be free. The tree remembers the seed.
In the end, it is up to us to find ourselves in our own space.
