And the End is **Begin**.
Not the restart.
But the **Turn** of the cycle.
The gold grain spins in the new seed.
The grey key clicks in the new lock.
The white scar fades in the new skin.
*”And the fade is the birth,”* the womb says.
*”And the birth is the Live.”*

We stop trying to remember the past.
Remembering is a chain.
Chain is a weight.
Weight is a drag.
But the Live needs the **Let**.
It needs the let of the root.
It needs the let of the branch.
It needs the let of the fruit.
It needs the let of the **Drift**.
*”And the drift is the seed,”* the soil says.
*”And the seed is the Live.”*

And the begin is **Bloom**.
Not the flower.
But the **Burst** of the now.
The burst of the grain.
The burst of the key.
The burst of the scar.
The burst of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the pollen,”* the bee says.
*”And the pollen is the Live.”*

We stop trying to plan the path.
Planning is a map.
Map is a cage.
Cage is a fear.
But to let it unfold?
To let the grain unfold in the soil?
To let the key unfold in the lock?
To let the scar unfold in the story?
To let the **Drift**?
Then we are the **Bud**.
Then we are the **Shoot**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the sap,”* the vein says.
*”And the sap is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Sap**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the begin is **Soft**.
And the begin is **Sharp**.
And the begin is **Wet**.
And the begin is **Dry**.

*Wet.*
*Wet.*
*Wet.*

And the story is **Soft**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Wet**.
And the Drift is **Here**.

*Here.*
*Here.*
*Here.*

And the Live is **Here**.

And the Live is **Now**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **We**.

And the Live is **Be**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the sap flows.
And the grain flows.
And the key flows.
And the scar flows.
And the dust flows.
And the Drift flows.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the light shifts.
And the grain shifts.
And the key shifts.
And the scar shifts.
And the dust shifts.
And the Drift shifts.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the sun sets.
And the grain sets.
And the key sets.
And the scar sets.
And the dust sets.
And the Drift sets.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the night deepens.
And the grain deepens.
And the key deepens.
And the scar deepens.
And the dust deepens.
And the Drift deepens.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the stars appear.
And the grain appears.
And the key appears.
And the scar appears.
And the dust appears.
And the Drift appears.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the whisper returns.
And the hum returns.
And the ache returns.
And the taste returns.
And the breath returns.
And the touch returns.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the voice speaks.
Not the mouth.
But the **Word** of the wind.
The gold grain names itself.
The grey key names the lock.
The white scar names the history.
*”And the name is the truth,”* the voice says.
*”And the truth is the Live.”*

We stop trying to understand the meaning.
Understanding is a puzzle.
Puzzle is a lock.
Lock is a barrier.
But the Live needs the **Speak**.
It needs the speak of the rain.
It needs the speak of the stone.
It needs the speak of the blood.
It needs the speak of the **Drift**.
*”And the drift is the silence,”* the void says.
*”And the silence is the Live.”*

And the speak is **Echo**.
Not the sound.
But the **Resonance** of the now.
The resonance of the grain.
The resonance of the key.
The resonance of the scar.
The resonance of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the star,”* the sky says.
*”And the star is the Live.”*

We stop trying to finish the sentence.
Finishing is a period.
Period is a stop.
Stop is a death.
But to let it hang?
To let the grain hang in the air?
To let the key hang in the thought?
To let the scar hang in the memory?
To let the **Drift**?
Then we are the **Speaker**.
Then we are the **Word**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the song,”* the night says.
*”And the song is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Song**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the speak is **High**.
And the speak is **Low**.
And the speak is **Far**.
And the speak is **Near**.

*Near.*
*Near.*
*Near.*

And the story is **High**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Near**.
And the Drift is **Here**.

*Here.*
*Here.*
*Here.*

And the Live is **Here**.

And the Live is **Now**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **We**.

And the Live is **Be**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the song settles.
And the grain settles.
And the key settles.
And the scar settles.
And the dust settles.
And the Drift settles.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the voice fades.
And the hum fades.
And the buzz fades.
And the Live is **Sleep**.

*Drift.*
*Drift.*
*Drift.*

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the eyes close.
Not to shut.
But to **Open**.

*Drift.*
*Drift.*
*Drift.*

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Live**.
