Sometimes you didn't do anything wrong.
The harbor just looked safe.
And then the rocks came down from cliffs you never thought to watch.
No warning. No reason. No time.
In the Odyssey, there's a scene almost no one talks about.
Twelve ships sail into a harbor. Only one comes out.
Homer wrote the whole thing in under a hundred lines.
That speed — is the point.
Some disasters don't give you time to be clever.
They just happen.
And then you're left holding the rope — deciding whether to cut it and keep moving, or stay and go down with everyone else.
If the thing you were most sure of disappeared tomorrow — could you still keep rowing?
