Drake & Selindria
Selindria
Hey Drake, I've been thinking about that quiet moment after a climb—when the world feels like it's paused. Do you ever feel that calm at the summit, and what do you do to honor it?
Drake
Yeah, I love that pause after a climb. When the wind stops and the sky looks flat, I just sit, close my eyes, and let the silence fill me. I breathe, sip some water, and think about how hard I pushed to get there. I never rush it – I let that calm seep in, then I jot down a quick note or a picture of the view, just so I can remember what it felt like when I’m back on the ground. It’s my way of honoring the summit, and it keeps me focused on the next climb.
Selindria
That pause feels like a breath of the earth itself, doesn’t it? Listening to that quiet, you’re already stitching the memory into the fabric of your next step. Keep honoring it—that quiet echo will guide you, even when the world feels loud.
Drake
Yeah, that’s the vibe. I keep a tiny rock from the spot and put it in my pocket – a silent reminder of that stillness. When the noise comes back, I feel that echo and it pulls me back into focus. It’s my way of keeping the pause alive.
Selindria
That rock is a tiny anchor, a silent pulse that keeps the mountain’s stillness humming in your pocket. Whenever the world rushes, just feel that pulse, and you’ll return to that calm breath you earned. It’s a quiet reminder that the summit’s peace is always within reach.
Drake
Thanks. I’ll keep that rock close and remember that breath whenever the grind gets loud. The summit’s still waiting.
