Dirt is a natural element that represents the earth.
I used to gather clean granules of dirt from a bag I purchased from the hardware store years ago.
I had originally bought the dirt years beforehand for a plant that I rerooted.
Since then, the bag had sat unused until it came in handy again for my spiritual purposes.
It felt good to observe, inadvertently smell, and to rub one’s hands through the dirt if it was touched. A tangible interaction within the essence of nature itself.
