The Map of Invisible Roads

Paths Seen Only by the Courageous

By GoldenSpeechPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

An old cartographer created maps with no roads drawn. Travelers mocked them until one adventurer claimed the roads appeared only when one walked with intention. Skeptics followed him — and watched faint glowing paths materialize beneath his steps. When they doubted themselves, the paths vanished. When they believed in their direction, they reformed. The cartographer explained: “A map does not tell you where to go. It reveals where you’re ready to walk.”
