Difference in Dirt?
It's Relative
What do you suppose is the
difference between the dirt,
which is so thoroughly de
spised by fastidious people,
and the "good earth? that
raises the food that feeds both
the fastidious folk, as well as
the slovenly?
Where is the difference be
tween that material which
you so indignantly sweep out
of your house with the un
answered question, "W here
docs all the dirt come from,"
and the sand that makes a
beautiful beach, on which
you feel privileged to lay for
hours?
Crumbs are Dirt
A child eating a cookie is
partaking of food. Yet the
crumbs which drop from the
cookie immediately become
classified as dirt. Yet their
identity or structure has not
changed in the slightest. Actu
ally the crumbs are still food.
Dirt then, must be relative.
It is dirt only in connection
with something else. Any
thing may become dirt when
we have no use for it; it is
then, matter out of place, re
gardless of it individual char
acter. The dirt that soils your
clothes is the same material
that raises the food you eat,
or the carpet you lay on on
the beach. Around and
around she goes, and in this
endless circling, we call the
same material many different
names, depending on the
place wef ind it, or how much
there is of it.
I remember once viewing a
very beautiful picture. The
artist had incorporated a
wide expense of sloping
beach; a very blue sky,
through which a few white,
cottony clouds were drifting;
a strip of azure water, on
which the sun was glinting,
and a lone palm tree, sloping
gently over the ocean's edge.
Look ng at this sei-scape, I
could visualize myself stand
ing on a lonely shore locking
out across the open sea to the
h'irii'on. I could aim ii be
liee that the while clouds
were moving slowly across
1h; azure bowl of the sky. It
looked so real that (he reflect
ed glint of the sun seemed al
most to dance on the rumpled
surface of the water.
Startling Reality
Even the wide expense of
beach looked real; by the
artistry of brush and 'Oils the
artist had given it a reality
that startled me. I could al
most distinguish the indivi
dual grains of sand. There
were small depressions here
and there that gave mute tes
timony that this now lonely
beach had lately known the
presence of people, who had
walked here, and left their
foot prints in the sand.
Although I knew that such
a picture lost its impact when
viewed from a close distance,
I wanted to see who the artist
was who had captured the
spirit of such a scene. His
name I could read, but there
in unmistakable letters was
the name of the picture. It
was named, "Spinich.
For a while I was puzzled
It took me a while to figure
out what such a name meant
when applied to such a lovely
painting. Then it came to me:
the artist had named it spin
ach because there was so
much sand in it.
