The accountant blamed psychosomatic headaches on deadlines and too much reggae in his earbuds. He tried to cancel stress like a subscription, but numbers clung like fluff to dark suits. One night, he picked up his grandmother’s needlepoint, stitching calm into canvas. Thread by thread, columns softened, and the ache dissolved, proving balance sometimes hides in quiet, unlikely rhythms.
