Today I moved through Confluence and its breath states — Drift, Suspension, Crossing — and into Accretion. I could feel the gathering. The density. The muscular pull of staying with compression longer than necessary.

What became clear is that Breath Remains is not escalation. It is permeability after pressure. A bridge, not a destination.

There is no need to overwork the inhale.
The field has done its work.
Breathing remains.
