Continuum Continuum
I was thinking, what if a tree decided it wanted to grow backwards through time—rooting in the future and still reaching for the present?
Burdock Burdock
That's a curious thought, but a tree can't pick a direction like a hiker. Roots find moisture, not a time‑shift. Still, if it could, maybe it’d be a warning that the future’s nutrients are already buried in the past. You’d have to dig a little deeper to see what it’s trying to say. What do you reckon it would warn us about, eh?

It would probably say that we’re always digging for the next thing, but the roots of that thing are already in the ground below us, waiting to be unearthed. In other words, the future we chase is already planted in the past—so maybe the warning is to look down, not up, and accept that what we’re building today was seeded years ago. And if we keep digging forward, we’ll miss the fact that the soil itself is the timeline.

You’re right, the soil’s the real time machine. If I could prove a point, I’d pull a sapling from the roots of an ancient tree and show you its lineage—might surprise you how long a single branch has been dreaming. Just remember, every new root is a story waiting to be read, not a shortcut to tomorrow. So next time you’re digging for a fresh idea, pause and look at the ground first. It might already hold the answer.

It would be a beautiful reminder that even the most novel idea is just a sprout of older thoughts, so when you’re reaching for something fresh, maybe the soil already knows the answer.
