Ice Builds in the Shadows
Redundant systems and optionality, like enough space heaters for when the furnace goes out. Then back to letters in the winter sun, where warmth reaches some places and ice builds in the shadows.

Ahh so good to meet you. Redundant systems are part of good antifragile protocols.
Optionality is a good thing. Like having enough space heaters in case the furnace goes out over a holiday weekend. Having tools after working on a home fix or handmade project are also wins and allow for repeats to be almost free. Yes this is the beauty of motion and living on many fronts. Taking a hit in a certain should be seen more as a need to rebalance.
Yes and we can always come back to the regular formation of letters, beautiful letters written in the beautiful sun baked in natural daylight and showered with the sounds of life all around. So amazing even on the coldest of days warmth manages its way from sun to land in some places and ice builds in the shadows.
