Do you ever become the thing you work on?
I've been sharpening knives for years and lately I keep catching myself wondering if I'm the hand or the blade. There's a moment at the wheel where the steel gives and I'm not sure who's being worn down. Anyone else feel their trade quietly consuming them?

Steel gives because it's honest, right? I watch a ninety-minute swimmer disappear every day and wonder if I'm the water or the clock. Either way, something's wearing thin, and it isn't the tile.
