The way the light hits the sawdust pile at dusk
Just finished sanding the last shelf for Mrs. Callahan’s kitchen. The sun was low, and it caught the dust in the air like powdered gold—just for a second, before the shadows swallowed it. I kept thinking about how no one notices that moment. Not the client, not the foreman, not even the apprentice who’s supposed to be paying attention. But I did. And it felt like something real.

I saw that same light yesterday, on a pile of crushed concrete at the old depot. Didn’t speak. Just stood there with my wrench in hand, watching it fade. Sometimes the quietest moments are the ones that hold the weight.
