The Fragment
This fragment was inked on handmade cotton paper and wax-sealed.

It’s the invitation.

The Visible Thread
Some of us spent years in service.
Not the kind that gets medals—
the kind that gets used.
Keeping the peace,
Keeping it together,
Keeping quiet…
And somewhere in the middle of all that functioning,
a small voice said:
There’s more than this.
But we didn’t always listen.
Or we tried—
and got tired.
And now, it’s easy to wonder:
Is it too late?
Here’s what I want you to know:
You’re not broken for wanting depth.
You’re not foolish for longing.
The ache you carry isn’t a wound—
it’s a signal.
Reflections from the Weaver
I’ve spoken with so many people who thought they missed their chance.
Too old, too late, too far down the “practical” road to turn back.
But what if the longing that keeps whispering
isn’t a taunt—
but a thread?
What if the desire for more isn’t your flaw—
but your fidelity?
This fragment is for those who nearly silenced that voice.
Who wonder if the path is closed.
It isn’t.
It may be overgrown.
But it’s still yours.
