We should learn from ‘them’ how to stay in ‘balance with nature’. Even all of us depend on ‘soil’ for ‘every bit’ that ‘we are’ and ‘what we consume’ from primary level of food chain to tertiary level and then ultimately get decomposed and go back to the ‘soil’ which is the ‘ultimate destination’ for all may it be a king or a pauper then why that frosty nosed stare if your hands get smudged in some ‘mud or soil’.
Nothing could be much better to move ‘bare feet’ on soil or on a patch of grass it’s the best way to get yourself ‘earthed’ or ‘feeling your mother’, just smudge it all over the arms and all feel the texture and the smell. We in ancient days used to wash and even bathe with ‘multani mitti’ or ‘china clay’ and even there are people who still practice the same in rural areas especially the ‘mud of Ganges’ has a very soothing and healing effect on our bodies as there are microorganisms which are very skin friendly devouring on those bacteria’s who are causing some kind of skin infections.
There is whole amplified ‘immunity’ when we are in touch with ‘mother nature’. We should learn from all ‘unicellular and multicellular organisms’, how to live in sync with ‘nature’ as we are also a part of it, should learn from ‘trees’ who is our ‘life support system’ but adhering firmly to the ‘soil’ and tunneling itself miles and miles in the heart of the soil. Why do we think we are so sophisticated? But call soil ‘dirt’ or ‘trash’? Then are we not getting everything from that ‘trash’ only? But then we are thankless to that ‘trash’ as well which I think is very common to our species now a days… just keep on manipulating, raping and extracting more and more there is no ‘satiation’ to our greed!! All the basics we get from ‘earth’ – the minerals, the heavy metals, the rare earth elements, just everything we get from ‘soil’ for our different purposes and also for our ‘smart’ gadgets.
I think we are only concentrating in making our gadgets ‘smart’ thus pushing ourselves back in the row of IQ. Our greed is never to be satisfied every now and then huge ‘devils’ the so called ‘bore well’, ‘trucks’ hover around ‘posh colonies’ to dig another ‘hole’ into the ‘heart of earth’, but then beware of also the imbalance that we are creating in its ‘mantle and core’ giving rise to major ‘earth quakes’. Then the chopping of mountains to make more roads but for what good reason? Now a days, I am happy to visit those places which are uninhabited by ‘humans’ or where ‘people’ go less as wherever people will go they will ‘spoil’ their place with their ‘trash’ but alas you are calling soil ‘dirt’ or ‘trash’ but from where ‘everything originates’ without ‘soil’ nothing is just possible…
