Warmth and Trace

Warmth rises from the hearth, carrying not just scent but a change in how we understand loss—a ghost-like aroma that colors recollection with longing. This isn’t destruction, however, but an act shaping value; each following gesture is measured against this foundational offering. As if echoing Bergson's notion of duration, the settling dust and hanging motes imply reality doesn’t require fixed origins, gaining potency instead from reverberations and states born of transformation.
