The History of the Realm of Men

<p><strong>The Whisper Before the Word</strong></p><p>Before the first stone was laid before kings wore crowns before</p><p>man walked upright or uttered a name for God there was a</p><p>whisper. Not a sound. A sense. A divine breath moving through the silence</p><p>of eternity calling something from the nothing. It did not begin</p><p>with war nor with wonder. It began with <em>presence</em>-the infinite</p><p>recognizing itself and deciding to remember through form.</p><p>From that whisper came worlds.</p><p>From those worlds came <em>man</em>.</p>
