DIVERGENCE DETAILS
Divergence
The sacred V.
A convergence, and a divergence.
Life on the verge of itself—its own palindrome.
The break. The breakdown. The rupture. The inkspill. The pattern-interrupt.
The unfathomable moment when the known becomes the unknown.
The dissection where emergence happens, the divergence from order.
The apparent randomness of the nest, perched at the split of branches: tangled, Pandora’s garden of chaos where power potentiates.
Pure potential, a chalice of empty sky-space.
The explosion disperses energy. Passion, rage, grief, loss, constriction, birth, desire, love: no choice but to burst outside of themselves to create space for something new, something bigger to hold them.
Just before, the contraction—an intensification of energy preparing for its release. For it to fledge as a new being.
V: An invitation from the feminine to go beyond will and choice, to fly with a murmuration of energy that wings its own destiny.
Every divergence creates the fractal through its own expansion, leaving behind a web of silvery strands—the scars of growth, mirrors of the ourobouros umbilicus which marks the voyage from oneness to individuation—the scaffolding and circuitry for life emerging from itself.
This, then, is the final portal: a choiceless crash into or out of the void, a rupture that creates entangled scars—a net to hold us as we flail and fall, as we rediscover who we are as creatures who long to fly.
As we come to know, at long last—why.
