land


Professor Purple suddenly understands that land is everything. Land is food, land is shelter, land is clothing. Land is identity, land is culture, land is ideals and hopes.

She owes this insight almost entirely to the experience of growing an herb garden.

Those of us detached from the land by history, economics, can't possibly understand what it must be like to rely on land for life. Except maybe growing an herb garden might provide some small smidge of an idea...
