✦ Golden Insight
“The truth at the heart of this verse
What I feed on in secret becomes the strength or the sickness of my soul.

✦ Frame of Silver
“The context and setting that shapes its meaning”
Sin offers itself as bread, but it hollows the heart that tastes it. Violence warms for a moment, then leaves the spirit colder than before. Every appetite grows by what it consumes, whether holy or corrupt. The soul is shaped not by what it refuses, but by what it returns to. My hidden diet reveals my truest hunger.
