Nouns alone — “You?” and “Me.” — name self and other but cannot describe relation. The archipelago of minds has no verbs. Sunsets pushes Me and You together; they remain hard-edged stones with no mortar.

Quiet joy gifts a new thought — not a thing but an action. The first verb: something like “to share,” “to be with.”

“Me. To-be-with. You.”

A clumsy sentence, a child’s first grammar — and a statement of intent, a plea, an invitation. The bridge of language grows stronger. They are learning not just to name themselves, but to speak themselves into existence, one painful beautiful word at a time. Building the grammar of being.
