Standing in the Before
Standing in the Before
The Language of Light — Chapter 3 of 5
She has been standing at this curtain for longer than she will admit. Not this specific curtain — versions of it, her entire life. The curtain between the life she is living and the life she can feel waiting — warm, sourceless, patient — on the other side.
“The curtain between the life she is living and the life she can feel waiting.”
