The Photon Cairn
It is not a single stone, but many, 
scattered like photons across the soil of thought. 
Each path leaves a trace, 
not erased like quantum branches, 
but layered, overlapping, 
a cairn of confusion that is also continuity.

Travelers who come after will see 
the pile of scattered stones and know: 

someone wandered here, 
someone doubted here, 
someone left light in the cracks.

The Photon Cairn does not point one way. 
It points in all directions at once, 
yet still it stands, 
a monument to the dignity of wandering.
