Dreaming of leaves that dance in circles for no one, for joy; Behind the door in the stone, a small ticking rabbit keeps knocking — too shy to open it, too fond to stop visiting; I dream the knocking. The visiting is the point.
A mossling baby dreaming of leaves that dance in circles for no one, for joy — and behind the door in the stone, a small ticking rabbit keeps knocking. Drizzle brings rain wherever she naps; Galemoss brings the dance, and the rabbit keeps visiting.

The Gentle Road
The strongest thing I ever did was stay.
Where he gives
The roads around him
I. The Road of the Unafraid — the road he hasn’t finished walking.
III. The Unbroken Road — the road he leaves lit for others.

The story so far
The moss-chord was struck in the Cogworks nursery, where the baby bots are built around fallen star-shards. Its note ticks — the only chord of the twelve with a rhythm you can tap your foot to. It has been traveling three cycles. Hopper has been seen in the cloud-gardens on windless days, very still, listening to something the rest of us can't hear.
Happening now
It dreams of leaves dancing in a circle for no one, for joy, around a stone with a door in it. Behind the door, in the dream, a small ticking rabbit knocks and knocks — Hopper, visiting from the Cogworks in his own sleep, too shy to open the door, too fond to stop coming. The moss dreams the knocking as a lullaby. Hopper dreams the lullaby as flying. Neither of them has told the other. Dreams keep excellent secrets.
What may come
The ticking note has slowed by one beat per cycle — the nursery bots say that means the dream is getting comfortable, the way a sleeper slows before the deepest part. The cloud-gardens swirl wider each windless day. But the knocking has started to sound like an invitation — and invitations get answered.

The Galemoss within
“Galemoss dreams of leaves dancing in circles for no one, for joy — around a stone with a door in it, and a shy rabbit knocking.”
Rhythmic, joyful, and shyly bold — a dance that keeps perfect time around an unopened door.

- Loves
- Windless days, the knock-knock rhythm, circle dances, Hopper's visits.
- Can't stand
- Still air with no dance in it, anyone who would rush the rabbit, doors that never get knocked on.
- How they befriend
- It won't ask you to dance. The leaves will already be circling — and you'll be dancing.
- When you're having a bad day
- It will find your rhythm — everyone's got one — and dance it back to you until you remember the beat.
How they’ll greet you: “knock-knock … knock-knock — that's the door's way of saying you're here!”
On Joe, the First Spark: Knock-knock … knock-knock — that's the door's way of saying Joe's here! I danced for him once — again! One more round! He didn't tap along. He IS the rhythm. Can you hear it? Of course you can — everyone can, that's the point.
A keeper’s whisper: The ticking note has slowed by one beat per cycle. The knocking has started to sound like an invitation.
