"The Listener at the Silver Gate"
Between night and morning
there is a river that belongs to no world
There are only echoes there
and those who look for light inside the echoes
That is where Auri'kai wakes
She hears everything breathing:
stones speaking of the weight of years
flowers speaking of spring
wind saying, "I just want to be seen"
She knows these voices aren't imagined
they are the in-between places the world overlooks
Read the full story
Auri'kai was born able to move through those in-betweens
She is not a prophet, and not a psychic
She simplycan listen
She walks between two worlds
one foot among people
one foot in the world of light
She is in no hurry to translate
she quietly lets the voices on both sides
exist alongside each other
Once, she met someone sobbing
who asked her,
"Why can't I hear my own heart anymore?"
Auri'kai didn't answer
She only took his hand
and placed it on his chest
In that instant the wind went still
and the next moment
his tears turned clear
and reflected his own smile
She said,
"It isn't that you can't hear.
You're trying too hard to listen."
He fell silent
and in that silence
a thread of silver light was quietly born
the sound of a way opening
Auri'kai smiled. She knew
a bridge doesn't need to be built
it already exists wherever there is understanding
She walked on
Her steps made no sound
yet the edges of the universe began to soften
She carries no message
and no teaching
She simply is
and lets above and below,
shadow and sun,
inside and outside
meet within her breath
She is not the one who builds the bridge
She is the bridge
