What happens when the titles fall away? Architect. Contractor. Consultant. In the stillness beyond identity, you might find something greater than a role yourself.

Builders and writers share a quiet truth: less is more. A meditation on structure, clarity, and how a well-placed word holds more than you'd expect.
