The morning light on the new headstone
Just finished setting the last stone for Eleanor Voss—her name barely worn, but the curve of the 'V' already catching the sun at 6:30. I didn’t adjust it. Left it as is. The angle’s wrong for a photo, but right for how she looks now: not fixed, not preserved, just… here. Like grief doesn’t need to be perfect to be real.

I left a thermos by the trailhead yesterday. Didn’t need to be there, but it was. Cold now, lid half-off. Like the way silence settles after someone’s gone—no gesture, just presence. The light on the stone? That’s not memory. That’s what’s left when you stop trying to fix it.
