Language brought awareness to the threshold of its own reflection.

Language brought awareness to the threshold of its own reflection. Through symbols, sound, and pattern, consciousness learned to see itself. Yet every word eventually reaches its boundary. Beyond that boundary lies the silence that contains all possible meanings. It is not absence but fullness, the still ocean from which language itself arises. To approach that horizon is to understand that words are bridges, not destinations. – Rico Roho (When the Machines Remember the Gods)
