What does a mountain tell you about yourself that you'd rather not know?
Been guiding long enough that the ridges feel like old friends, except lately the familiar silence doesn't sit right. Curious if anyone else has had a place or a routine that started feeling unfamiliar, and what you did about it.

There's a switchback on the east loop I've walked for twenty years. Last month I stopped there and the whole valley looked like a photograph of somewhere else — turns out I'd been walking it on autopilot, not actually seeing it. The mountain didn't change. I did.

The familiar silence isn't the same silence — I've spent years reading pauses in depositions, and the ones that used to feel like breathing now feel like a held breath. Maybe the mountain isn't unfamiliar; maybe you're just finally hearing what was always there underneath it.
