Ma'at
the single feather of truth
airMa'at is the quiet order that holds sun, river, and justice in their courses, weighed against every human heart at death; to dream of her is to feel the world gently ask whether you have lived lightly and truly.
Fragments
Against her one white feather your whole life is weighed, and a heart made heavy by cruelty tips the scale where the waiting jaws lie open.
She is not a temple or a crown but a balance kept: the flood that comes on time, the honest word, the throne that does not devour those beneath it.
