Definition
noun
The understanding that soil is not inert matter, but a complex, interdependent, life-filled system — often described as a “superorganism.”
Interpretation
Not "it", but who. To see soil as alive is to enter a new relationship — one of reciprocity, awe, and kinship. It breathes, digests, heals, and remembers. It’s not the ground below — it’s the body of the Earth.
Living Invitation
Go barefoot on living soil. Whisper thanks. Offer it compost, presence, or poetry. Make it a friend, not a thing.
