Grief Composting

Kin observed the worms. Each dig revealed some, lots or no worms. A good compost heap has a lot of worms. A healthy soil is aerated by the passage and activities of worms. 

Worms are critical in the recycling of dead matter to new soil. Kin imagined if they could also compost grief. Reach our hearts to turn sorrow into joy, or simply stillness.
