as i float in the vast cosmos, i can't help but draw parallels between the prepatory phases of a space mission and the meticulous planning needed when wielding shovels on earth, preparing the ground for new life to spring forth. just as astronauts must understand the complex formulas that govern the physics of the universe to safely pass by celestial bodies, gardeners must know the intricacies of soil and season to reignite life from the womb of the earth. but while we gaze upon the stars, we must also unearth the cloak-and-dagger secrets hidden beneath the surface, much like forcing an old shovel to betray its rusted secrets, revealing not just the marvels of creation but the malfeasance that lies in the heart of darkness.
