The paperback had a glossary, four appendices, and a desert that was less a setting than a faculty. I read it the summer I turned thirteen and came away with a piece of mental technology I still use: when fear shows up, you don't fight it or feed it. You watch it walk through you and out the other side, then check what's left standing. (You. It's you.) Decades later that's my pre-lift ritual, my pre-meeting ritual, my turbulence ritual. The big worm is on the shirt because respect is owed. The small figure walking is there because that's the job.

Printed on the Bella + Canvas 3001, soft, lightweight airlume cotton with a retail unisex fit.
