Many Names. One Light.

Dedication

To the seekers, the questioners, and the quiet ones who already knew.
To everyone who’s ever felt something deeper than words,
but kept trying to find the words anyway.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


TO EVERY HUMAN across history who whispered their truth into the dark and called it prayer.
To the thinkers, the dreamers, and those who knew that meaning doesn’t have to agree to exist.
And to the ones reading this now, you’re not alone, and you never were.
