Slick coats hands

Slick mud coats hands as they follow the dark, branching roots of a small plant descending into the garden’s uneven ground. The network spreads unexpectedly far, revealing connections that hint at more than individual flourishing; some fruits depend on unseen support. This interwoven bounty suggests vitality isn't simply inherent but arises from accumulated influence – past conditions shaping present form across layers of soil and time. A faint earthy scent rises with the disturbed earth, leaving a question of where true strength resides—above or below.
