slope
Patterns in weathered stone
carry the same recursion
found in cloud‑break and thaw.
To speak of erosion
is to misread the work;
better to stand inside
the quiet fulcrum of the ridge,
the dense interior
where the shift is sensed first,
long before the slope gives way.

This goes far deeper than geology my friend this to me speaks of people and the deeper we go the more and less we understand. Here when understood we can see the motivation that leads to behavior long before it occurs.
Thanks, dear friend, indeed it goes deeper. 🙏🕊️
Arqios, there’s a quiet power in this that doesn’t need to announce itself…the sense of change beginning deep within before anything gives way. The focus on that inner point of shift holds the whole piece together. It’s subtle, but it lands. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
And that is the truth with many of life's lessons and shifts. 🙏🕊️
