To Touch/Feel: Earth in your Hands

May 19, 2008

It’s humbling, really. We’ve become such a clean society that we’ve forgotten what it feels like to get your hands dirty, to dig your fingers in moist soil to plant something fresh, pull up a weed, or just scoop up some dirt to make a mud pie.

Dig into the earth soon. Let it comfort you knowing you are connected to something far more expansive than you can see, imagine, or know. Dig up a part of your world that draws a continuous line to other countries, cultures, and lives. Whether covered by water, forest, foliage or pavement, we all are grounded on top of something that continuously shifts, changes, allows us to grow and ultimately become a part of someday.

Feel some earth. From this humble gesture, you can feel mighty.
