Hey Nekifor, I’ve been tinkering with this old garden hoe that’s been giving me trouble. Got any thoughts on what it means to keep fixing something that’s broken, beyond just the practical side?
Nekifor
Fixing a broken hoe isn’t just about making it work again; it’s a small act of continuity. Each time you mend it, you keep a link to the past— to the moments it helped you, to the people who used it before. It reminds you that value lies in persistence, not in perfection. So when you keep fixing, you’re choosing to honor that connection and to learn that resilience shows up in the effort, not just the result.
Korobok
That’s a good point, Nekifor. I always think about the hoe as a tool that’s seen a lot of soil, a lot of hands, and keeping it alive is like keeping a story alive. When I line up the parts, I feel like I’m not just fixing wood and metal, but keeping the memory of every seed that fell in that dirt. It’s the little repairs that keep the bigger picture going.

It’s like tending to a garden of memories. Each small repair is a seed that keeps the story alive, growing alongside the soil itself. Keep it, and the legacy stays in the earth.
