frost and lichen as penetrating space in simplest form.
frost, upon impenetrable glass nearly shrieks, spikes where it can an objection to barriers and thus captures what foothold it can by imprisoning the vitality of water.
lichen, being penetrated itself and liberated by water [algea being symbolic of this resounding penetration] needs not to penetrate, rather is happy to take whatever form is sufficient for its stage of growth, bulbously fructiform or rhizines lancelately weaving in any direction---squamulose, crustose, foliose, such expansions are enough to state its meagre case that these are the shapes of uninhibited becoming, or perhaps more importantly, of two becoming one. It could be said then that all who conjugate are thalli perched upon a cosmic tree.
