Compost Manifesto (fragment 1)

Compost doesn’t care for you. You care for it.

It’s rot. Decay with decay whether or not we show up.
Care and tenderness is what turns rot into renewal.
Our job is to tend, to steward, to help be a part of the choir that keeps the balance.

Listen to the rest of the life there.
Not for perfection, but so the pile can thrive.
In turn its bounty and beauty are offered back to with us if we continue to create life.
