What is recorded here

Clear water from the well, smooth stones for the chimney, and a roof that kept rain from the children. These were not gifts from invisible creatures but lessons repeated until they became certain. The fort is a school where human hands learned to build containers strong enough for storm, hunger and birth. Every chamber in a living body is a small ringfort: a boundary, a floor, a roof and a door. What looks like fantasy is only measurement made visible.
