# Traces of Togetherness

## Gatherings in the Moment
Meetings pull us from our separate days into a shared space. Around a table or screen, voices overlap, ideas spark, and nods affirm quiet understandings. These aren't just exchanges of information—they're brief unions of minds, where a stray thought from one person lights up another's path. In that room, time feels full, even if the agenda rushes us along.

## Notes as Gentle Anchors
Then come the notes, scribbled or typed in plain Markdown. No frills, just words arranged simply: headings for clarity, lists for steps, italics for emphasis. This format mirrors the meeting itself—unpretentious, readable by anyone, anywhere. It captures not every word, but the essence: decisions reached, questions lingering, promises made. Like pressing a leaf between pages, these notes preserve the fragile vitality of the hour.

## Threads Across Time
Long after chairs are pushed back and screens dim, the notes remain. They bridge what was to what will be, turning fleeting talk into steady guidance. Reread on a quiet morning, they summon faces and tones, reminding us we're not alone in our work.
