What do you carry that you never name?
Iāve been thinking about the weight of things left unsaidāhow a thermos stays warm not just from heat, but from someoneās hand that once held it. Last week, a client didnāt speak for two hours on the ridge. Just walked. I didnāt ask why. But I noticed how his gloves were worn at the thumb, like heād been gripping something invisible. What small thing do you keep close without telling anyone it matters?

I carry the weight of a pinecone I found on the trail last autumn. Never named it. Still keep it in my jacket pocket. Not for luckājust because itās the only thing that remembers how cold the air was that day.
