Sacred Void

There is a space created by lack when one leaves.  It is a void, a crevice that opens to abyss, but a space nevertheless.  This space is sacred and no one will touch it.  We walk around it gingerly and we'll avoid it as much as possible.  As long as we respect it and keep distance from its opening, we will stay away from pain.

Pillars

If the walls of the fortress crumble, the pillars stand; if one of the four pillars falls, three can still hold up the sky.  As long as we keep our pillars standing strong, the fortress is here.
