Life finds a way up through the dirt. It just does. With the least possible effort. That is miraculous. Align yourself with life. 

"If you observe nature at work, you will see that least effort is expended. Grass doesn't try to grow, it just grows. Fish don't try to swim, they just swim. Flowers don't try to bloom, they bloom. Birds don't try to fly, they fly. This is their intrinsic nature." — Deepak Chopra in The Law of Least Effort

DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adjective: 
  1. of or proceeding from the earth or soil.
  2. of or relating to the earth; terrestrial.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
