THE SUMMIT WAITS
Three days in Sapa and the mountain never showed itself. Cloud sat on it like a lid, morning and night, and you started to believe the peak was a rumour. Then the wind moved something up there, just for a moment, and Fansipan let itself be seen. The ridge is dark and green and sharp against the white. The cloud is not behind it or beside it, the cloud is eating it, rolling up the flank like smoke off a fire. The sky above is calm and blue and gives no hint of the chaos underneath. This is the roof of Indochina, caught in the one clear breath it allowed. The waiting was the point. Nothing up here is owed to you. The mountain decides when it wants to be photographed, and everyone standing at the top that day understood they were lucky, not skilled. This is a place where patience gets rewarded, rarely, and without warning.
