Begin where certainty starts to thin. Infernal winds turn consequence to weather. The ordinary carries a hidden pressure. A distant woman keeps the stars in order. We stay until the deeper pattern appears. The lost road opens into lasting song.

Dante walks where no living map can guide him. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Above, the mountain asks each soul to change. It returns us to exile, the Divine Comedy, moral journey, love, language, and a poet walking through imagined worlds. Exile gives his Tuscan words a home. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
