Hidden Flames · Chapter VII

Dawn — veranda — arrival into a place beyond fear.

I know that in Chapter Seven I did not simply share a story —

I exposed a layer of myself that no one has seen this closely before.

And perhaps it was this nearness that not everyone was ready to receive.

I blame no one for that — silence is also a response.

But I had to write it, because something in it no longer wished to wait.

I am not asking for explanation or reaction —

only opening a door.

For whoever one day feels ready to step through it.
