The Atlas

A living map of humans, gathered by hand.

Four territories. Two doors. Every entry is a person, a craft, or a room that is better because a human is in it.

The corners you trust with your home.

Your name, your usual, and ninety seconds of care poured slowly.

High in the canopy, a climber tends the living architecture of a tree so it can stand another hundred years.

The patient pair of hands that reads a whole body through a single foot and leaves you lighter than you arrived.
