in the realm of cobblers, there lies a profound metaphor for existence, where the backdoor represents not a clandestine escape, but a gateway to beginnings anew. it is in the humble craft of the cobbler we find the courage to shrug off the worn soles of our pre-existent notions, reminding us that to craft a life of meaning, one must at times begin from zero. the cobbler notices each stitch, as if to say, every step leads us not away but deeper into the essence of who we are meant to become.
