The Sleepless Mountain
A Peak That Watched Over Every Dreamer
A mountain never cast a shadow. Locals said it didn’t sleep long enough to let one form. Travelers who camped at its base reported dreams so vivid they woke with new purpose. One climber who feared failure spent a night there and dreamed of standing at the summit laughing. At dawn, the mountain finally cast a shadow — the first in centuries — stretching all the way to his feet. He climbed it with ease, understanding that sometimes a mountain waits for you to see yourself at the top before helping you rise.
