Mountains or Clouds

Old memories don’t have to be carried like mountains. They can pass as clouds.

Burden Memory Freedom

Metaphorical Narrative

For years you’ve dragged mountains on your back. Old memories, heavy thoughts, every mistake calcified into stone. Yet when you look again, the weight isn’t granite. It’s mist. The mountain isn’t a mountain at all — just clouds drifting by.

Core Insight

The mind turns memory into mass. But the truth? These memories are not stone to carry, they’re weather to watch. When you see them as clouds, they lose gravity.

Saturday Experiment

  • When an old thought rises, name it: “cloud.”
  • Visualize it drifting across a wide sky.
  • Practice letting it leave without climbing onto your back.

Sunday Reflection

What “mountains” from their past did they mistake for weight? How would their week feel if those became passing clouds instead?
