After roots take hold individually, what connects them beneath the surface? Mycelial networks — thin fungal threads linking separate plants into a shared system. No plant knows the network exists. But nutrients flow, signals pass, and what looks like solitude is actually community.
The roots go deep; the connections wander between them, finding their own paths. Fuzzy clusters of root hairs blur where one system ends and another begins. Exchange nodes dot the threads like small gifts left at crossroads.
After taking hold (Root), now: what was always there, holding everything together.
