All Chapters

  1. I The Ajar Door

    The limit is not a wall that keeps you in, but a threshold that teaches you how to stand.

  2. II The Pressed Floor

    The limit is not the end of the road, but the very ground upon which the traveler stands.

  3. III The Threshold

    It is not the gold inside the vessel that shifts the floor, but the sudden weight of the vessel itself when it first lands in the room.

  4. IV The Witness at the Gate

    The wall is not the obstacle, but the interval between breaths; to witness the silence is to know the room remains whole.

  5. V The Weight of the Floor

    The cup only becomes a vessel when it knows the shape of the earth beneath it.

  6. VI The Weight of the Broken Loom

    The road only appears where the cart wheel breaks.
