29. The Donkey That Believed in Maps (Middle Eastern Sufi)

A Sufi tale speaks of a donkey that carried a map everywhere but never walked a road.

One day it met a Fool who asked:

“Why keep the map if you do not move?”

The donkey blinked. It was the first question that felt like a mirror.

The Fool Method is that mirror:

A map is not the territory. A belief is not a life.

We must walk the story

 to know it is real.
