What holds you close to the Earth?
Soil provides nutrients. It holds water. It anchors growing plants. Each of us has requirements for our growth and each of us deserves to have those requirements met in our world.
What provides you a medium for growth?
Decay is an important part of the interdependent web of existence. Excrement and dead matter can be turned into rich soil by the beings whose job it is to decompose.
What are the things in your life that need to be discarded and returned to the web of life?
Petrichor is what we smell when rain falls on dry soil. It is the scent of the forest floor, of ozone made by lightning, and of the bacteria at work in the earth. It is an intricate expression of the interdependence all around us.
Notice something in nature that reflects interdependence.
