Endurance isn’t about never breaking — it’s about staying open through the breaking. In this chapter, Tirath travels from childhood lessons in patience to mountain peaks in Ladakh, where every challenge tests her body and faith. From Reva’s wheelchair courage to the frozen monasteries and apricot dreams, she learns that endurance is love in motion — the strength to stay gentle while carrying weight. It’s not stubbornness or surrender; it’s the quiet art of lasting with grace.
