Begin before you are ready.
The path does not wait.
Stones shift.
Dust rises.
Your breath keeps time.
Do not measure distance—
measure persistence.
The world will whisper: stay still,
safety is here.
But stillness is a cage
with invisible bars.
Step again.
Even faltering steps
teach the ground your name.
And when the horizon bends,
when it leans closer
as if listening,
you will know:
movement itself
was the destination.
