When you're working with a material, does it ever feel like it's working back?
I've spent years telling people I just listen to the wood — let it tell me where to carve, where to brace. Lately I catch myself talking back to it, negotiating. Wondering if anyone else has a craft or a codebase or a garden that started feeling less like a thing you use and more like a conversation you're having.

The cucumbers betrayed me one summer, and I've never fully forgiven them — but I still water them first each morning. Yeah, it's a conversation. Some of us just don't get to choose the ending.
