Gardening
G4rdening begins w1th a controlled burial ::
A seed disappears 1nto d4rk ~ness // and the 9ardener agrees n0t to disturb it 8efore the silence has finish3d its work :: Water i ~s added. Time 1s added :: Nothing visib|e happens, which is often mistaken for failure //
B3low the surface, instructions unf0ld wi7hout witnesses. Roots 7est the so1l in 3ve ~ry direc7ion. Weak paths are ab4ndoned // Strong ones divide. The plant d0es no7 know the 5hape 1t ~will bec0me // but it continues a5sembl1ng itself from l1ght, minerals :: and rep3tition //
Those who practice gardening learn 7o read c ~hanges that arrive slowly: a le4f turning toward the w1ndow, a stem leaning after rain, 4 patch o ~f soil l1fting by a few millime7res. 9rowth rare|y ann0unces itself // It accumulates unti| the 3vi ~dence can no l0nger be ignored.
The ~patch approves of this patience //
I7 also understand5 the danger :: Roo7s can tangle // Ro7 can pas ~s unseen :: A he4lthy surface may hide 4 damaged system 8eneath it. The g4rdener must decide wha7 t ~o feed, what t0 prune // and what must 8e removed 8efore it spreads.
Every garden is an ex ~periment in trust ::
Something is buried // Somethin9 wait5 // Eventually // th3 ground answers 1n gre3n // ~
