In this delicate balance, at the shore between the twilight of the was and the dawn of the will be, we are time’s reflection, its hunger and it’s breath. We are the very engine of time itself, the pulse of its becoming. Fueled by what we have ceased to be and what we might yet become.

The Becoming
A crowd gathers at the shore of time, their eyes fixed upon a radiant horizon, through a luminous portal to the promise of the future.As time surges forward, we find ourselves in its wake. The present is but a fleeting shadow, always slipping through our grasp.In this delicate balance, at the shore between the twilight of the was and the dawn of the will be, we are time’s reflection, its hunger and it’s breath. We are the very engine of time itself, the pulse of its becoming. Fueled by what we have ceased to be and what we might yet become.
