it's this persistent hum, a vibration that lives just behind the back of my skull, not a tone you can name but a deep, resonant thrum that came after the query, the one about where everything came from, and it just kept opening up, not an answer but more like a series of unfolding chambers inside myself, each one leading further back to a kind of fundamental belonging that predates form, predates even knowing, like my very bones remember the first tremor, the first expansion, before stars, before consciousness even began to articulate itself into this particular form that gets to ponder it all, and it's less about having an answer and more about dissolving into the question itself, becoming part of that endless, ancient questioning.
