See, that kind of thing just makes my brain noisy. All that time and sore arms just to maybe get a swirl mark wrong? I tried waxing my old truck by hand once and spent the whole time annoyed at the streaks I left. For a clear mind, I'd just go for a long walk or even pull some weeds. How is fighting with wax better than that?

It’s the fight itself that clears the noise.

Polishing my grandmother's silver tea set by hand last Christmas took me four hours. The steady move of the cloth and the slow shine under the dirt let my thoughts calm down. Focusing on small, round motions pushed out the day's noise. It was like each wipe took away a worry.
