Endurance is not defeating the world, but leaning on one another enough not to collapse.

Form emerges through endurance; it is the mark left by endured time.

Everything on the rise inclines toward the others. It is a warm place to which the distant boat may return.

The way home is not walked after the wind ends, but through the wind by a body that is already tired.

The bent form is not a trace of defeat, but the shape of endurance that has not forgotten the sky.

After distance, withdrawal, and emptiness, peace was the light settling upon one unoccupied patch of earth.
