"A million years of silence, then the whisper of roots."
Soil was never just dirt. It was the decay of stars, fallen leaves, and forgotten lives — crumbled into a future.
Microorganisms arrived first, not with a bang, but with a soft acidic breath that turned stone into possibility.
Cyanobacteria dreamed in blue-green spirals, releasing nitrogen and oxygen like offerings to time.
Everything living has crawled through dirt. Every death has returned there. Soil remembers it all.
Fungi decompose and compose — composing forests, composing futures, composing you.
In the dark beneath your feet, entire civilizations of bacteria hum softly, unseen, and eternal.
The Earth's skin is not clean. It is fertile, chaotic, writhing. It is alive because it is dead.
