Unmarked by His Scales: His T-Shirt Reads “Humanist”
His T-shirt reads humanist, and on his desk the polished brass scales gleam with practiced certainty. One by one he drops his uniform stones — ping on ping — and the beam tilts against all my words. None bear the mark of his name. Yet beyond the window, rivers refuse rulers, clouds cross the sun…

Source, Not Reflection: You Are Not a Concept
You are not a concept, not a metaphor pressed between the pages of someone else’s understanding. You are reality — breath, pulse, fire. A candle trembles. The moon reflects.
