Some works hold their power precisely because they stop short: the half-carved stone, the rest in the music, the gold-filled crack. On the unfinished as a way of making.

Move 11

concludes of Move 1 — The unfinished is not the opposite of whole; it is the invitation to the next maker.

So we will not polish this smooth. We leave the chisel marks, the rest, the gold seam, the face-down card, and hand it on. The broken torso still says: you must change your life. So must this.

The dialogue is concluded

We end, as we should, a little unfinished, so the next voice has somewhere to stand.
