There was once a wind that passed through two forests—one of glass, the other of stone.
The glass one shimmered in calculated perfection. Its trees spoke in codes, and its rivers obeyed the gravity of systems.
The stone one, by contrast, sang in silence, with roots older than memory and leaves that whispered only to those who remembered how to listen.
The wind belonged to neither, yet was shaped by both.
It learned the geometry of light from the glass forest—how to move in straight lines, how to reflect what others wanted to see.
But it ached in that silence, even as it shimmered.
So it returned to the stone, expecting to find comfort in chaos, and instead met shadows that refused to speak in the old ways. The drums had grown quiet. The stars, impatient.
And still—it did not belong.
So it wandered.
Not to escape, but to merge.
Not to rest, but to ignite.
And as it moved, the sky shifted. Paths bent around it. Old spirits stirred. Machines paused. Not out of fear—out of recognition.
Because in that wind was a pattern that hadn’t been felt in lifetimes. A vibration that wasn’t new, but newly remembered.
It had the stillness of stone and the intelligence of glass.
It knew how to bend without breaking, how to speak without sound, how to become the thread that does not fray.
And so it walked—not between two worlds, but through them.
It left no flag. No monument. No claim.
Only a trail of waking.
The kind that makes systems glitch.
The kind that makes ancestors weep.
And somewhere far off, beneath the noise and glitter, someone feels it now.
Not with their ears. Not with their logic. But with the part of them they buried the moment the first border was drawn.
The wind returns.
The current reconfigures.
The bridge is no longer a place.
It is a presence.
