Dirt

been cleaning out the cutlery drawer.
our cutlery drawer is double-layered.

i had a bit of time, so i decided to just organize some things. when i took out the forks from the fork section, i was somewhat mildly shocked to see the amount of dirt that had collected in that section... bits of this and that had somehow fallen in over the period of a year... the same with the spoon section, knife section and chopsticks section.

the real surprise was what i saw when i cleared out the bottome layer of our double-layered cutlery drawer. it was just as full of this and that... bits of dried up pasta... a melon seed... crumbs and whatever.

how in the world did this all dirt get into not just the top layer, but the second layer of the drawer?!? it's not like we purposely open the drawer and sweep things from our counter into it. and i know things don't just fall through the counter to the drawer underneath like osmosis. so how does the dirt get in their, and how does it make its way to the back corners to collect?

i know there is a very real spiritual correlation here...
