The soil in the old pots had dried up and the plants were long gone. To revive the roof greens, we needed to mix it up with the new alluvial. And ergo we laid it all on the floor. As we worked on it with our bare hands in the comforting sunlight, the maid complained that the floor has been ruined with dirt.
When exactly did this distinction come about? Isn’t it the stuff of life ? We all have come from it and shall go into it. Why did we forget this quintessential connect while we designed our concrete enclosures? Why did we ostracise mother nature from our lives? When did the soil become dirt?
