Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Duality by Sonia de la More. She stared at me
from the sharpness of the mirror, eyes black, saddened by
a life of cruel turns. Her edges were blurred by
the echoes of herself. The reflection reached out, begging to
be touched, to be held as a mother would hold.

(00:23):
Always there, these eyes following her everywhere she went, A
shadowed face wasn't quite her own. One line cuts through
the center of everything she mused. A boundary where light
and darkness merge and pull apart, where truth whispers in
riddles to its opposite, between the black and the white,

(00:46):
a world unfolds, where form distorts but meaning deepens, where
each angle is a doorway to another unseen reality. Each
half of her held a piece of the whole, a
figure drawn to both sides, a singularity caught in the
paradox of existing everywhere and nowhere, or at once, two faces,

(01:13):
one gaze, a dance in contrast, a secret held in
the delicate balance of what is, what was, and what
might be. Copyright twenty twenty four, Sna de la Maree
