Thank you for this beautiful reflection on the holiness of dirt. When I taught gardening classes to kids a few years back, the lessons on compost bordered on the spiritual. It was miraculous to watch children awakening in real-time to a deeper understanding of the life-death-life cycle, and where they fit into it. I love the way you’ve brought millipedes, as real animal and also as metaphor, into the picture. I’ll be thinking about that one for a while.

As she circles her last moments, I've been revisiting much of the wisdom of Joanna Macy, and I can see that you've been blessed with a knowing and a seeing not dissimilar to hers. It's so important. This kind of clarity. Thank you for sharing it 💛
