Every mountain carries a story. Some carved by time, others by those who dare to climb them.

In this opening chapter of Map & Myth, we travel into Virginia’s Blue Ridge — a place where stone remembers, where folklore lingers in the fog, and where every ridge hums with the ghosts of old songs.

Part travelogue, part meditation, The Mountain as Myth explores what it means to endure — as land, as artist, as soul.
