Approaches

 Approach it from angles unsurmised  

To reach hidden berry find artful guise 

Beneath green leaves a bit to the side 

Long way around navigate thorn pride 


Bird also hunt, spider hunt fly 

If rot on vine is parent to bride 

Nature has every conceivable delivery 

Some face sun, others hug shade antiquity 


Not burned till one pops, juice bursting full 

In company good, a cluster not pulled 

Sheepishly surrounded as days feed season 

The vines snake armature perennial pleasing 


Beauty still sleeping wrapped in sweet splendor bramble 

The blackberry hedge offers a sensible gamble

"When he did exchange words, he sometimes mentioned his true friends: the plants. Wood, he believed, was conscious.  

He told Michel Camilleri, a local bookbinder who helped compile his writings, that his kitchen table “knows more about you, your past, your present and your future than you will ever know”.  

"Matthieu believes his father’s plant distillations were linked with this attempt to explain the workings of evil: a form of alchemy through which he was attempting to isolate different species’ properties of resilience to adversity and aggression. "

"The Grothendieck topoi find applications in algebraic geometry; the more general elementary topoi are used in logic."
