Leachate
Definition
noun
Pronounced: "lee·chayt" - Liquid that drains from compost or landfill, containing dissolved nutrients — sometimes beneficial, sometimes toxic.
Interpretation
The runoff of decisions. In compost, leachate can be potent — a liquid gift or a stinky mess. It teaches us that design without consciousness leaks.
Living Invitation
Observe where things “leak” in your home or system — nutrients, energy, emotion. What could be better caught and cycled?
