III · THE RIVER & NEUROPLASTICITY

A river does not choose its mouth. It arrives there because the source already knew the way.

What looks like current is choice. What looks like drowning is, sometimes, the only way across. The body keeps its own ledger of every current it refused, whether or not the mind agrees to read it.

"Time is a river whose source and mouth fold together."

Daily choices are not the river. They are the weather above it.
