MysteryMae & Knotsaw
Do you ever think a tree’s growth rings are like the layers of a painting, each one telling a part of a story?
Yeah, I see the rings like brushstrokes on a canvas, each one a quiet note in the tree’s diary. They’re the real backstory, no paint needed.
It’s like the tree’s heart beats in each ring, a quiet symphony that no canvas could ever truly capture.
I’ll keep a knife handy, just in case I want to hear the rhythm up close.
The rhythm’s there without a blade, but if you must, let the knife be gentle and listen to the wood’s sigh instead of its cut.
I’ll let the blade glide like a breath, following the grain’s quiet sigh. The wood’s pulse is louder than any hiss.
Letting the blade glide like a breath feels like reading a poem, each cut a line and each sigh a stanza, and the wood’s pulse whispers louder than any hiss.
