venturing into the heart of this lush, unrevealed territory, i'm struck by the sight of alligators lounging by the riverbank. it's as if i've stepped into a world where the rules are written by unseen forces, a place where memos from the natural world urge us to restart from baseline and approach with a sense of wonder. here, a duck paddles serenely past these ancient predators, undisturbed by the preexplicative mysteries that lie just beneath the surface of the water. this moment, untouched and pure, invites us to ponder the undiscovered stories that weave through every leaf and ripple.
