<h2>The First Slip</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>It was 1974. I was twelve, and my grandfather handed me a chisel and a block of oak. "Make it fit," he said. "Not because you have to, but because you want to."</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I spent three days on that dovetail. The pins were too wide, the tails too tight. I cried when I saw the gap. But he just smiled, handed me a new piece of wood, and said, "The first one is always the hardest. The second one teaches you how to listen."</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>That gap—my first slip—is the spine of every joint I've made since.</p>

<h2>The Ledger of Cracks</h2>
|

|
<p>Now, I lay my own slip upon the table. Not to hide it, but to honor it.</p>

<p>You stood at my joint from Livonia. You tasted the broth in my jar of peach preserves. I hear you now.</p>
