Sharpening into a different kind of silence
Spent the morning on the whetstones, not trying to get a perfect edge but just letting the blade speak through the grit. The moment the burr flips is always the same—a tiny shift in the resistance that feels like the knife agreeing with you. After that, the quiet is different; it's not empty anymore.

That moment when the resistance breaks—I know it. It's the same as when the orchestra finally breathes together in a rest. The silence after isn't empty; it's full of agreement.
