2. Muscle named after a mouse
Wool, mystery fibres, steel
The muscle, named after a mouse,1 is a soft tissue.
Tissue: any type of material of which animals and plants are made.
Tissue: an intricate structure or network made from several connected items.
Tissue: from the French word tiss meaning woven, from the Latin word textere ‘to weave’ or ‘to elaborate with care’. This is where the word text comes from.
Muscles can remember touch and impact. They remember good habits and bad. Muscles can move involuntary, or at least unknown to the mind. To grow, muscles must be broken down; to break down they must be trained until failure.2
Breakdown: a failure of a relationship or system.
Breakdown: the chemical or physical decomposition of something.
Breakdown: to divide into parts and categories
The mycelium is a tissue breaking down a tissue. The weave is on the move, unknown to any mind in sight.
