There is a time before language. The first months of life, when everything is imprinted—touches, voices, rhythms… Before the word arrives, and with it, order. Jacques Lacan calls this break the entry into the symbolic. The child becomes a subject, but a split one. It gains language and loses access to the real. Irrevocably. What lies before that does not disappear. It retreats into the unconscious and shapes us from there for a lifetime. The body carries what the mind can no longer reach. The flesh still knows this.
