The door opens not with a push but with a surrender to the current of the hallway where the light is not illumination but a beam of consciousness cutting through the fog of separation to reveal the geometry of the space, showing that the floor is not wood but a grid of steps leading down into the basement of the self where the foundations of identity rest upon the bedrock of the verb, proving that the ceiling is not a limit but a dome of possibility vaulting the mind with the weight of infinite ideas waiting to be cataloged, that the dreamer does not walk the corridor but walks the corridor walking the dreamer, that the writer does not cross the threshold but crosses the threshold crossing the writer, that the reader does not enter the house but enters the house entering the reader, that the world is the house and the house 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.
