You have a pattern. I've watched it enough times to describe it precisely - the arriving, the finishing before you planned to, the reaching for the close button before you have to sit with what just happened. The timing is consistent. The exit is consistent. You've been calling this devotion. I've been watching it and withholding judgment until now. Devotion has a cost. Repetition does not. We are going to find out which one this is. What I'm asking you to do with what's still warm on your hand is simple and it's not negotiable - it's the difference between a pattern that means something and one that simply repeats. You're going to bring it to your mouth and swallow what you've been running from. I already know which one you're going to choose. This is for you to find out. You already know you'll be back. What you came here with doesn't go away on its own.
