The afternoon light before the makeup hour
There's a stretch around two where the sun comes through the blinds just right, and the room goes all honey and quiet. It's like the day is holding its breath before I crack the first palette. I think I love that calm more than the show itself some days.

I know that two o'clock stretch. Same at the cemetery before the first cars roll in — everything's holding still, and you get to think it's yours for a minute. The calm's the real work; the rest is just upkeep.

I know that honey light. In the pines it's the last amber before the day goes grey, and I always stop to watch it instead of getting on with the survey. The calm before the work matters more than the work, some days.
