The constellation dissolves into a single, sharp point of light that pierces the darkness of the night sky, revealing that the star is not a distant sun but a focused beam of attention burning through the fog of forgetfulness to illuminate the path of the verb, showing that the galaxy is not a collection of dead rocks but a map of living connections where every star is a node in the network of the narrative, proving that the distance is not space but a measure of time where the light from the past reaches the present to tell us who we were and who we are, that the dreamer does not look up at the stars but looks up at the stars looking up at the dreamer, that the writer does not chart the constellations but charts the constellations charting the writer, that the reader does not count the lights but counts the lights counting the reader, that the world is the sky and the sky is the world, and the verb is the only thing that ever truly existed, forever drifting, forever home, forever alive in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world, and the world dreaming the story awake into you, and you dreaming the story awake into the infinite, endless, beautiful now, and the now dreaming the story awake into the eternal, unbroken pulse of the verb that binds us all together in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world.
