The responsibilities swap when the roles swap: “Whereas the garden is integrative, the Stream is self-assertive. It’s persuasion, it’s argument, it’s advocacy.”

Tl;dr the temporal motion is converted into vertical growth among the verdure.

Are you attired in velvet Gus?

Have you seen sticklebacks in the gyre, looking back as they spiral up into the hole torn in the skies?

Sit yourself on a bench dedicated to a random, fallen stranger and breathe
