"The ever-essential earthworm is our muse—small agents of earthly alchemy—who glean, digest, and transform matter.
glean
collect or discover anything little by little gather leftover grain or other produce after a harvest (historical)
digest
crush into a soft, shapeless mass (pulp) compile or summarize material to take into the mind memory
transform
withdraw from the market and recycle change in composition, structure, character, or condition"
(manifesto written by JP)
