The Cracked-Open Place: A Parable
You have been here. You may be here now.
The grey land where everything is almost. Where the faces dissolve before you can confirm what you recognized in them. Where the warmth is constant and nothing ever arrives. Where you have walked, without knowing it, in circles.
Beneath it, there is a castle.
It is yours. You built it. You have forgotten that you built it.
Most people never find the door behind the throne.
At the bottom, in the lowest cell, something has been waiting.
It is not damaged.
It has been smiling the whole time.
Down thirty-three steps into the cold below everything, there is a question waiting.
It has been waiting for you specifically.
