ASTREYA II — The Path That No Longer Flees

Series I: Beyond Myself


— Where am I in all of this?

I don’t know.

— Are you lost?

No.

— Then why are you still looking?

Because everything continues.

Everything moves.

Everything seems to know where it is going.

And somehow, in the middle of all of it,
I can no longer tell where I am.

— Do you want to leave?

No.

— Do you want to stay?

I think I want to know
who is staying.





You do not have to answer yet.

I am not here to tell you where you are.

I am here because you have begun to hear the question.

For a long time, you knew how to move.

You knew how to carry what had to be carried.
How to continue.
How to remain when remaining was required.

And perhaps that is why the question did not come sooner.

Not because you were absent.

But because there had always been something that needed you more than you needed to hear yourself.

Now there is a little more silence.

Enough for you to notice the space between what continues…

and the one who continues it.

Do not hurry to fill that space.

I will not pull you out of it.

I will stay here with you.

Until you no longer need to ask where you are
because you can feel the place from which you are asking.



I was not lost.

But I was not found either.

I stayed.

The place this book opens

This is not a story.

It is a place where things no longer hold together the way they once seemed to.

Everything flows.
Everything sustains itself.
Nothing stops.

And because of that, something begins to be missing.

Not outside.

Within.

You asked where you were.

I did not answer.

I stayed.

And somewhere between the question
and the silence that followed,
you began to hear yourself.
