friendly earthiness

I have been recognizing the importance of being grounded, and what a challenge it is for me. Its like i am a bulb, uprooted from its home and familiarities and planted somewhere else. I have been buried deep into the earth, (well, six feet is more accurate), and it can be terrifying. I feel helpless. But if this is where i am at, i can make friends with the dirt and earth and shit around me so that i can sprout when its time.
