The apple falls. Everyone already knows that. We have a word for the falling now, and the word is so familiar it can start doing the work the hands used to do.

This book does not take the word away. It asks what was already happening before anyone had a name for it.

Two voices sit under a tree and stay on the questioning side, on purpose. They pick the fruit up. They drop it again. They watch a leaf take longer than a stone. They notice that down is a relationship, not a place you could point to on a map. They notice how quickly a name can stand in for looking.

There is a difference between questioning a thing and denying it. This book stays on the questioning side from the first page to the last. It does not replace gravity with a better slogan. It does not tell you how to feel when the apple hits the ground.

The last step is left with you. Watch the fall. Write what you saw. Do not hurry the name.
