Lavrushka, ever thought about how the patience you give a sapling could be the same ritual I use to let a guitar string settle until it bleeds pure harmony? It's a dance of decay and creation, wood and metal, and I think you’d appreciate the way both need time to reach their true tone. What do you think?

You’re still half‑in the garden, half‑in the studio. If you’re going to compare saplings to strings, make sure you’re also ready to tune that sapling to a proper key before you let it grow. And hey, when that plant finally shouts back, make sure it’s at least 120 decibels—anything less is just background noise.
