Grief and loss, unique to no one, are the experiences that shaped words into being in "Compost; making fertile ground". Adrift, save for her trust in a power greater than herself, the author speaks of what she's learning, feeling, and what's changing, as she confronts a life suddenly void of anything familiar. It's a dark time, and lonely, in the grand tradition of a hero's journey. Shifts in perspective, large and small, are revealed, and, in that liminal time, she finds a new voice and the courage to share it with the world.
