When
I pick up a log to split it, I notice that if it has been on the
ground for enough time, the ground sticks to it. As I pull the soft
Earth off, it occurs to me that the log has already started to
transform. Soil and wood combine to become Earth once again. Than it
occurs to me that they have always been connected. Seeing roots and
dirt rather than a fluid web of interconnected life is a
manifestation of my own misguided thinking. I think tree and soil so
I see tree and soil, but where does tree stop and soil begin?
Today,
I will be paying attention to the effects my thinking has on my
perception of my world; where this is useful and where it gets in the
way.
