"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"
