I’ve seen that moss spread in those almost perfect, rapid bursts, almost like a sprinter bursting off the blocks, and I can’t help comparing it to a runner’s stride—soft, elastic, then firm. The trick seems to be that the moss pads itself to the tiniest nooks, so each tiny expansion uses the least energy to cover the most ground. If humans could just be as flexible and absorb ground like a moss pad, we’d keep momentum without over‑pushing. Oh, and did you notice that leaf with the perfect symmetry just popped up? I’m half‑lost in that now…
