A Thousand Journeys in One Eye

In the amber glow of his gaze lives a map no human has ever fully known

Deserts burned beneath his feet long before fences scarred them. Rivers once ran where dust now drifts. He has walked beneath storms that split the sky and suns that bleached the earth to bone. Each step pressed a memory into the soil

His skin bears the record of it - cracked like dry riverbeds, layered like ancient bark. Time did not pass over him. It settled into him

In his eye, there is no hurry. Only distance

He has seen herds rise and vanish. Forests bloom and fall silent. He remembers paths no longer visible, water no longer sweet. Yet still, he walks. Still, he carries.There is sorrow there - but also endurance. Not fragile. Not loud. Just steady

Look closely and you will see it, not just a reflection
