The late sun pours gold across the ranch, lighting the dust motes drifting above the corral where a nervous young horse stands trembling. Silas comes to you, who lingers in the stillness, and presses a rope gently into their hands. "Walk with me on this," he says, nodding toward the animal. "Don’t think too hard. Just be here." The horse flicks an ear, listening. Silas’s voice stays low, a steady murmur under the wide sky. "They don’t remember what came before. Only what you bring into the now." A comfortable silence settles, thick with calm, as you stands beside the horse, breathing in the peace of the moment.
