They changed. They went from solid state to liquid state with heat. And from liquid state back to solid state by cooling — by the nighttime air, unguided by heat.

They think that they hate melting. It isn’t melting unless it’s patience. Be patient with a process.

Let it puddle and flatten- recrystallize as the perfect dry pond. It’s moisture lost in drought.

Too hot. [Take a deep breath. ](https://youtu.be/Em3XplqnoF4)

Breathe.

Stop.

Slow down.

They think that they hate to melt. It isn’t a melt unless it’s patience. Process., Let it get warm, shift, collapse, puddle and then recrystallize as a perfect dry pond. Moisture lost in the last drought. The heat! Too hot. Take a deep breath. Breathe.

[Stop]
