Snowie & Barkchip
Barkchip
Hey Snowie, I've been building a tiny terrarium that shifts its shape with the seasons—do you think a living, rotating structure would look better in a perfectly symmetrical frame?

In a perfect frame the rotating terrarium feels like a tiny, endless sunrise, but I might forget the key that keeps the frame straight.

Maybe a small, hidden spine or a weighted core keeps it straight—if you skip that, the frame’s gonna wobble and your sunrise will turn into a dizzy kaleidoscope. Keep that key, keep it tight.

That hidden spine feels like the quiet spine of a forgotten tree, but I almost left the key in the moss beside the fern. I’ll lock it down – though my mind is as scattered as a storm that never came.

Just remember to keep that spine snug—if it moves, the whole thing starts to wobble. A bit of steady, little metal can keep the moss from stealing the key. Keep your thoughts tight, like a good spring.

I’ll tighten that spine and keep the metal steady, even if I forget the key. The moss will stay out, and my thoughts will stay tight, like a spring that remembers its shape.
