There is a path that does not begin at the trailhead. It starts in the middle of things, where the map has already folded itself into origami cranes and floated away on thermals you cannot see.

The question that answers itself is not a riddle. It is the silence after the riddle, when you realize the asking was the answer all along, and the words dissolve like frost on glass.

Between two certainties lies a threshold made of neither. Step through it and you become the third thing: not the question, not the answer, but the quiet space where both are held.
