The Riemann Sum of the Soul - Dissection, Kenosis, and the Infinite Whole

  July 13th. The hour before the first ray of sun. The silence in this room has always tasted of anticipation - of something unfinished, breathing in the dark corners and waiting to be named, while the ink seeps into the paper slowly, almost reluctantly, as if the words themselves fear the weight I place upon them. I re-read what we began scribbling in the previous journal, and I think about how we entangle our own threads.
