An infinitesmal speck of matter, solitary in the darkness.

Light. Energy. Heat.

Expanding through space, through time, moving dreamlike into what is yet to be.

Aeons pass. Mass condenses, collects, collides, and then…

Rare, blissful and flawed.

Life.

Adapting, communicating, building, pushing, starting, stopping, dreaming.

Scattered across all of creation, destined for so long to remain unaware of the incomprehensible scale of the endless everything outside of each atmopshere, galaxy, solar system.

A skeleton, a frame, a home:

Emotion.

Breathtaking and horrifying, uplifting and heartbreaking.

Inescapable, impossible.

An unbreakable lattice of ecstasy, jealousy, hope, ambition, love, hate. A familiar pattern, a blueprint replicated across all that thinks. All that is.

Exploration, discovery, realisation, collaboration, competition, cyclical yet surprising.

Always surprising.

All from that infinitesmal speck of matter.

Barely a twinkle in the closed eye of a dreaming Architect.
