This Chronicle is not meant to be read quickly.

Each entry consists of an image and a reading.
The image is not an illustration of the text, and the text is not a description of the image.
They exist in tension—like two sides of the same movement.

Begin with the image.
Stay with it longer than feels necessary.
Notice what draws your attention and what you resist seeing.
Do not search for meaning immediately.

When you read the text, do not treat it as an explanation.
It is not definitive, nor complete.
It is one possible articulation of a deeper process.

You may not agree with every reading.
Agreement is not required.
Recognition is.

Some entries will feel distant.
Others may feel uncomfortably close.
This is not a flaw in the Chronicle, but part of its function.

This space does not demand belief.
It invites attentiveness.

There is no required order.
You may enter at any point.
Chronology matters less than resonance.

If you find yourself wanting clarity, pause.
If you feel confusion, remain with it.
If nothing happens, that is also a reading.

This Chronicle does not reward urgency.
It responds to stillness.
