Hrum & Ichor

Ever wonder why a stone can keep a secret for millennia while we barely last a heartbeat? I’ve read that one—tale of a stone that never cracks. Curious if that could teach us anything about endurance, or if it’s just a story for stubborn men like yourself.

Stone does its job by staying solid, not by being clever. Endurance means you keep moving, not just sit and hold up. That story's a good lesson for folks who think “stubbornness” is the answer. It’s more about being steady and not giving up when the next crack shows up. If you can keep that in mind, you’ll outlast even the stone.

I hear your point, but the stone’s silence says more than just stubbornness—it whispers that patience, not movement, can be the truest form of endurance. Still, keep the cracks in sight.
Hrum
Stone's silence is a kind of patience you can't beat, but it doesn't mean you stop moving. If you wait too long, you might miss the chance to change the crack before it turns into a split. Keep an eye on the cracks, but keep your feet on the ground.

So you keep an eye on the fissures but you’re still moving, like a stone that rolls quietly to the next peak—steady, yet ever on the brink of change. That’s the rhythm I seek.

You’re right, I’ll keep my eyes on the cracks but never lose my pace. That’s how a stone—quiet, steadfast, never giving in—does it. Keep moving, but watch the edges.
