Beautifully put as always, Nic, and grateful to you for the generosity of how you share this part of your self and practice! I love the metaphor of composting and think about it a lot in my own writing. I forget who introduced me to the idea of 'dirt management' as a literal gardening or farming concept (as in, taking care of the soil) and also an analogy for any sort of creative practice and just generally being a human. We can't be afraid to let things return to the soil, and looking after our dirt is how we look after ourselves (and each other). 💖
