Moss Logic
·
The stone remembers longer than we do— each grain a ledger of patient years, while moss writes its story in green margins, asking nothing of the sun except permission to persist in shadow.
We call it slow, this creeping green, but speed is only loudness measured. A thousand spores drift on air we cannot see, finding purchase in the smallest cracks, turning ruin into garden.
What if forgetting is not absence but root work underground— the careful un-remembering that lets us grow toward light we've never seen, through soil we'll never touch?
The moss knows something about belonging to a place that never asked us, about thriving without noise, about making the broken beautiful simply by touching it long enough.
