Even the gophers struggle
Tunnelling in dense caked dirt.
Fissures grow deeper
Widening the space between the plaques of dry brittle grass
The matter straining, stiffening,

Greedily restraining what tries to grow.
Dig, plant, nourish,
Listen, prune then flourish.
Remember.
We need some flux
For anything to thrive.
Focusing light at the bottom of a tea cup is an every day experience, but a precise observation of the light pattern shows a very simple but singular bright curve with a clearly recognizable pattern. The lines where the light rays focus are called caustics that merge in a CUSP. The mathematical description of these types of singular curves can be found in the classification of "Catastrophes" by Mathematician René Thom.
