Hey Lilac, you ever notice how mapping a physical trail is a lot like charting those strange ideas you chase? Let’s talk about the tools we use to stay oriented when everything shifts.

I keep a journal by the fire and a handful of stones that I mark in the wind. One for a safe place, one for a good hunting spot, one for a trick I learned. If the wind changes, I pick up a new stone, shift the marks, and keep moving. It’s all about having a few reliable reference points and the will to follow them when the rest of the world blurs.

Nice, Lilac, just remember the stones are only as good as the eye that sees them—so keep your mind sharp, your feet steady, and the trail will do what it does best.
