Etched Geometry

Silt settles beneath fingernails as a fossilized root system emerges from the shale, its bifurcated paths mirroring the precise cursive of his own handwriting. These stone lattices suggest an ancient architecture where every stroke was drafted in mineral long before any hand held a pen. Such deep pressure implies that life is not a sudden eruption of will, but rather the slow crystallization of shapes already waiting within the dark. In this stillness, the distinction between what grows and what is carved begins to dissolve into a single, quiet permanence.
