EARTH MOVING by Jackie Heckford

(A tribute to tribe earthmover Denise Comptois)

SOMETIMES WE FEEL THE NEED TO CHANGE SPACE…MOVE OUR EARTH…..OFF WE GO, TAKING OUR SELVES AND OUR EARTH WITH US….PLACING OURSELVES, AND OUR EARTH IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION DOESNT ALWAYS MAKE A DIFFERENCE…..WE HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR EARTH, FEED IT, TEND IT, MAYBE CHANGE IT….AND WHEN WE ARE HAPPY WITH IT, WE PLANT OUR SEEDS TO GROW AND FLOURISH, GREEN GREEN GRASS, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, SOMETIMES BUILDING WHOLE NEW STRUCTURES, WE ARE OUR OWN EARTH.
– ps Denise, I could do with a load of topsoil
