The Dirty Girl

For the longest time I have felt this connection to spirituality in the most uncommon place… the dirt! It’s not so much about connecting with the dirt and the earth. It is more this awesome realization that something goes into the ground, takes root, we walk on it, torture it with summer heat, freeze it with Ohio winters, drench it with thunderstorms, some 4-legged friends passing by watering it in other ways, crawling and flying life nibbles on it to feed, and yet it blooms! Not by the grace of a master gardener, but the grace of the being that lets me also bloom!
