The Passage of Time

Silence. A ship rests on calm waters, its hull weathered by time, its colors fading into the horizon. It was never meant to sail—forgotten before it could ever set out, left behind, unmoving.

But not everything that stands still is forgotten. Not everything that is left behind disappears.

Like the Navajo culture, this ship carries the marks of its past—scars that do not tell of an ending, but of endurance. Though it has remained in place, it still exists. It has not vanished, only been overlooked.

The NavajoZen page reflects this idea: Resilience is not only found in movement but in presence—in the quiet strength of simply remaining.

The Navajo people may have been pushed into the background, but they are not lost. They live on in their patterns, their stories, and in every person who carries and passes them forward.
