time no longer advances here

there is no hunger there is no thirst there is no end

the mind does not perish in the maze it lingers

what changes is not the maze but the manner in which

it is approached

for a long time the presence within the labyrinth is treated as a monster

it is watched anticipated feared

the mind assumes what frightens

it must be destroyed

this belief shapes the labyrinth

the search becomes a hunt every passage narrows every turn tightens

violence promises clarity

it delivers endless repetition

to destroy the presence is to sever

the only continuity

the labyrinth contains

without continuity there is no way back

this is why

those who enter the maze to conquer it they do not escape

they remain

not because they are punished because they have removed the only guide capable of walking its depth

the presence has always known the way

it does not oppose the maze it belongs to it

when fear is no longer treated as an adversary movement changes

the hunt ends the path straightens

trust does not eliminate fear it gives it direction

does the labyrinth reveal itself not as a prison as a passage
