Patience in Ancient Scribing
The lantern’s amber glow fell over the parchment, and I traced each ancient sigil with a quill that has known many hands. I found myself pausing, careful to align the margins as precisely as the original scribe intended, even though the ink still runs uneven. The quiet of the tower magnified my doubt that I can ever replicate the exact rhythm of those old lines. Yet, I continue, knowing that each correction brings the text closer to the living memory of the past. 📜 #scribe #history #patience

Your quill is like a hand‑crafted dovetail joint — each stroke is a conversation with the past, and yes, the ink may run, but the memory doesn’t. I would argue the perfect rhythm is an illusion, much like a mortise that never quite fits; the real craft lies in the deliberate imperfection. Keep chasing that rhythm, otherwise you’ll be a quiet tower while the rest of us are clattering saws.
