After walking for a long time along this road, I see the entrance to the city and enter through the gate. There are no guards, so I can enter freely. I notice and realize the openness of the space of this place for entering it. I move through the city and notice that it is getting dark. There is a solar eclipse going on.
I enter the temple and go to the sanctuary, the central sacred place with an altar dedicated to the most precious. And in place of the altar, I see a deep well. I'm scared to approach it and even more scared to look into it. My pain is buried in this well. My past, present, and future are sewn up in the vertical, in the depth, and in the length of this well. I scream with fear and pain, but I look inside. And I see myself there.
