The Eternal Larva

A parable of refusing to transform, holding space, and the sacred power of remaining

Before there was becoming, there was remaining. Before there was change, there was the choice not to change. And before there was you, there was a love so patient it learned to stay unformed.

— From the Book of the Unasserted
