The damp chill of the refrigerator, the careful sowing into fertile earth—these are rituals, a dance with nature’s stubborn heart. Uneven germination, the threat of fungal shadows, tests resolve. Yet, each emerging sprout, a vibrant spear of green pushing through the darkness, is a victory hard-won, a testament to perseverance, a glimpse of future majesty.
