The Weight of Lead: What Are You Carrying?

Choosing to Stay at the Fork

Hey, cosmic seekers. Do you remember that fork I laid out for staying or shifting? Let’s focus on the first: staying and choosing Lead. It’s heavy and unrefined, like a stone in your hand, not a feather. I felt its weight myself years ago. I stayed in a pattern that added pressure on my chest, steady yet sinking. Lead isn’t weakness; it’s about what you’re willing to carry.

So, you’re choosing Lead? That’s the cycle, loops you know by heart, weight you can’t ignore. That job that drags, that fight you won’t let go of, or the quiet you cling to. Here’s what I see: You standing by a riverbed, picking up stones. Grab a few- name them. Regret. Fear. Habit.

Feel the weight, cold and solid. Now, slip the stones into your pocket. Walk with that clink, each step asking, Do I want all this weight? I did it once (metaphorically speaking)-stones named for the burdens I carried. I no longer have them.

What stones are you holding? Name them out loud, in your head, or below. How does that pocket feel, light enough or too heavy? Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments. I’m here, stones and all.
