Before we begin
A small question
You are here
You are breathing
Your heart is moving blood
Through chambers it did not design
That blood carries cobalt
Forged in a star that died
Before this planet existed
You did not ask for any of this
You arrived already equipped
For something you had not yet been told
What you are about to hear
Is not a sermon
It is not a proof
It is a question
That has been building
Since the first element found its place
The question is simple
It has travelled from before the first star
To arrive at your ear
The answer is not thunder
It is not a temple
It is not a title kept at careful distance
It is a word a child uses without thinking twice
Abba
That word crossed a garden at night
It did not stop the darkness
It held someone inside the darkness
That is different
What follows is the story
Of how the farthest God became the nearest name
Not by becoming smaller
By letting us finally come close enough to hear
