The worms are waiting… to decompose what’s old into soil for what’s new.

Burrowing holes under the soles of our feet, improving the structure of the ground beneath. Making fresh channels for water and oxygen to flow, creating an optimum environment for fresh life to take root.

If the worms are so valuable in the body of the earth, why do we fear them so much wiggling around in those of our own? Whether physical or metaphorical, we go on cleanses to purge them out of our minds and bodies. But have we ever stopped to wonder what they’re doing there in the first place? What they may be breaking down? What energy they may be releasing? What space they may be clearing within?

Now, the process of decomposition isn’t always pretty, and an infested inner landscape can go foul. But a world without worms would be stiff and stale. Rather than fear the underworld creatures as threats to our sanity, perhaps a healthy number of squiggles is just what we need on our journey to greater harmony.
