What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”A person with this pattern grows things by noticing what each plant needs next. They do not force a finished picture. They make small changes and let time answer. The work moves slower than most making. You’d recognize this in the person who saves yogurt cups for seedlings and knows which one always dries out first.
Integration property: Works with living things slowly, so the finished form shows up over seasons rather than in a single day
