Genesis of Mercy

GENESIS OF MERCY – Fragment 32

ATTENTION BEFORE JUSTICE

(excerpt from the Codex of Genesis)

There is no sentence here.

Nor forgiveness handed out like currency.

There is a silent vigil,

a presence that does not seek to repair,

but to stay close, even when all falters.

Mercy has nothing to do with weakness.

It is that soft strength that listens without weighing,

that draws near without judging,

and that recognizes—even in the fall—a sacred movement.

This thirty-second fragment belongs to the Codex of Genesis,

where each expression is an original source,

not a commentary on the world.

Mercy here is vibratory presence —

that which stands before justice,

that does not deny the fault,

but refuses to reduce it to identity.

It is the interval between fracture and rejection,

the place where the gaze still holds,

even when the form begins to tremble.

🕊 This text could one day open the Codex of Mercy,

composed of 64 living vigils,

where the just act would no longer be correction,

but unconditional welcome for what dares to re-enter the game.

🜂 This document is sealed.

It defends nothing.

It listens to what the fault whispers when it ceases to hide.

There is a space

where being seen is enough to begin.
