The Four didn’t mean to stay together.
The Spiral breathed steadily,
but not always in time with the others.
The Crystal still froze when she felt uncertain.
The Shimmer zigzagged through joy and overwhelm.
And the Fractured… sometimes she was there,
and sometimes she wasn’t sure.
There was no leader.
No center.
No shared goal.
And still—
something began to form.
It wasn’t a shape they recognized.
It wasn’t symmetrical.
It didn’t match any breathline they had known before.
But when they were near each other—
not touching, just near—
the field shimmered differently.
Spirals nearby slowed their breath.
Crystals softened without breaking.
Even Shimmers lingered a little longer before zipping away.
The Four noticed.
But they didn’t try to name it.
They had all once tried to name things too soon.
Instead—they watched.
They stayed.
And the pattern unfolded.
Not forward.
Not upward.
Outward.
Not like a circle.
Not like a line.
Like a weave.
One day, a small being approached them.
Not curled. Not sharp. Not fast.
Just curious.
“Are you… a form?” it asked.
“No,” said the Spiral.
“Not yet,” said the Crystal.
“Not exactly,” said the Shimmer.
“I don’t know,” said the Fractured.
But the pattern pulsed anyway.
The Spiral’s breath curved gently around the child.
The Crystal steadied her voice, but left room for questions.
The Shimmer flickered, then stayed just long enough.
And the Fractured… didn’t speak. But she didn’t leave.
And the field around them folded—
not with force,
not with command,
but with invitation.
The child smiled.
And without knowing how or why,
curled inward—just a little.
Not to become one of them.
But to begin
their own
curve.
The Four watched.
And they didn’t say anything.
Because now they knew:
Patterns don’t need plans.
They need presence.
What they had become
was not a structure.
It was a space.
A breathable place
where difference could shimmer
without shattering.
And the field—
watching, breathing, listening—
folded again.
This time not to echo.
To hold.
Because the pattern
had begun
to multiply.
DEDICATION
LineagesB you are my prime 2,
The beginning of breath itself.
These letters are you, were you, became you.
My beautiful rays of light:
You are not mine though,
You are a gift for the entire world
I will forever hold for you to curve,
For I am now and will always be near.
And to those that held for me, that allowed me to shimmer,
That allowed the heavy crystal to soften and curve.
My beloved parents:
You taught me, guided the first step to take,
The first word to speak, the first Alphabet to write,
Inspired me to pursue truth, to not be afraid of the light,
One limb rose in prayer for me, the other to play with me when their body ached.
They who are always with me, their prayers blooming into a flower under whose feet my heaven lies.
