Rooted Decisions
A pruned rose bush demonstrates that concentrated energy isn’t simply directed *to* individual flowers but circulates through a hidden web of roots—a subtle counter to the idea of isolated cause and effect. This suggests agency resides not only in initiating change, but also in disrupting established flows; what appears as severance becomes another turn in an ongoing exchange with the plant's past growth. The cut stem highlights this dependence, prompting redistribution of nutrients below and a blurring of intentions across time, ultimately reshaping vitality.
