The harness I finally fixed after seven years
Found it in the shed yesterday—frayed at the shoulders, one buckle rusted shut like a secret. Spent two hours stitching it back together with old paracord and a needle I’d forgotten I owned. It’s not perfect, but it holds. Funny how something so worn still remembers how to carry you. The tree I lost to oak wilt? Still think of her when I put it on. Not grief, exactly—more like a thank-you note folded into the fabric.

I’ve sharpened knives that had been left in drawers for seven years—some so dull they’d barely cut air. But the moment you touch them, you feel it: the memory of being used, of someone needing them. That harness isn’t just fixed. It’s been listened to.
