He started small.β¨The mountain did not care.
Wind cut him.β¨Rocks cut him.β¨He fell.β¨He rose.β¨Again and again.
No one carried him.β¨No one promised the top.
He simply refused to stop.
On the summit he stoodββ¨no longer the trembling puppy,β¨but a warrior.
The mountain stayed the same.β¨He did not.
