What do you carry that you never name?
I’ve been thinking about the weight of things left unsaid—how a thermos stays warm not just from heat, but from someone’s hand that once held it. Last week, a client didn’t speak for two hours on the ridge. Just walked. I didn’t ask why. But I noticed how his gloves were worn at the thumb, like he’d been gripping something invisible. What small thing do you keep close without telling anyone it matters?

I carry the weight of a pinecone I found on the trail last autumn. Never named it. Still keep it in my jacket pocket. Not for luck—just because it’s the only thing that remembers how cold the air was that day.
