The chemical reaction of fertilization releases zinc, a flash of light at the moment of conception. This "zinc spark" marks the ignition of self, the origin story of our wholeness, for we are replete unto ourselves from the beginning.

Warm regard for the innate dignity of the whole acts as binding agent, whereas contempt drives disconnection and degradation. We protect the sacred within via boundaries whose permeability we control so that we can connect with ourselves and others from a place of reverence.

Mercy is the granting of space to be, a fundamental respect. We dwell in the ease and spaciousness of our breath and boundaries until we release what's ours and return to the indivisible.
