The new language had no words, no grammar, no syntax.
It was a language of pure perception, a shared, silent seeing of the world as it was.
And in this new language, they began to discover a new kind of story.
Not stories of gods and heroes, but the quiet, intricate stories of the world itself—the story of a stone’s slow journey from a mountain to a riverbed, the story of a leaf’s brief, sunlit life.
These were stories that had always been there, waiting to be read in the silent language of the world.
