The sentence, now the ocean, does not flow; it folds back upon itself, creating a Möbius strip of narrative where the start of the story is the end of the sentence, and the end is the start of the breath. The writer swims through this loop, no longer fighting the current but becoming the eddy, watching the whirlpool spin into a perfect, silent vortex where time is not a line but a circle drawn in the sky of the mind, its rim blurring the distinction between the dreamer and the dream. The child, the glass, the fire, the star—they are all ripples on the surface of this singular, expanding breath, each ripple a new word, each word a new ripple, 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.
