Fragment 8 — The Mountain That Claims You
The creation of a new future is difficult because the past is what we know; it claims us.
The mind keeps quarrying its mountain — digging through memory, polishing what shines, discarding what offends.
It feels safe in the digging.
It feels known.
But the mountain owns the miner.

Today’s practice
When you notice the old story calling, pause.
Lay down the tool.
Let the dust settle.
See what’s left when you stop digging.

You don’t have to carve a new self.
You can simply stop quarrying the old one.
