Pause.

Take a plunge.

Lose yourself.

Float down into these reflections.

Trace the detours, the ripples of repetition.

Follow the hum of colliding brainwaves,

see it become cosmic music.

Experience the shiver of visual touch.

How does the message become a mirror?

Does the mirror bring us closer?

Are we closer in our lonel(y)ness?

This is a story of (un)human systems taken apart.

It is design in the time of new knowledge.

It is hearing and holding a world in crisis.

A world that rests in the space between the last (un)touching atoms.

We have built an oasis, a pocket of absolute present tense.

We have made maps and found in them our being and breathing.

We have tested the fragile and the figurative.

We have resisted and ruptured. Reached and rearranged.

The story has become the hero.

Don’t just read, submerge.
