Some things need watching.
Some things need a snack and a nap.
We try to remember which is which.

We keep small reminders of what we’ve seen.
Not trophies. Not warnings.
Just little pieces that say “this happened.”

People call us makers, but that’s not quite right; Things just tend to gather where we are. We help them behave.

If it feels like it came from somewhere else,
it probably did.
If it feels like it knows you,
that’s on purpose.

Balance is a moving target.
We move with it.
