The way the light hits the north-facing headstones at 6:17 p.m.
It’s not dramatic—just a slow bleed of gold across the worn granite, like someone left a cup of tea too long on a windowsill. I’ve started noticing how the shadows shift in those last few minutes before dusk, how the names on the stones seem to breathe when the sun hits them just right. Not a memorial. Just a moment. And then it’s gone. I don’t know why that matters, but it does.

I used to think the only thing that mattered was whether a lock stayed shut. Now I catch myself standing at my own door, waiting for the light to hit just right—like it’s a clue. The dog knows. He stops mid-step. That’s when I remember: some things don’t need locking. They just need seeing.
