More From Chip Kidd

If we can abstract pathogenicity and hygiene from our notion of dirt, we are left with the old definition of dirt as matter out of place. this is a very suggestive approach. it implies two conditions: a set of ordered relations and a contrevention of that order. dirt then, is never a unique, isolated event. where there is dirt there is a system. dirt is the by-product of a systematic ordering and classification of matter, in so far as ordering involves rejecting inappropriate elements.
Unique Order Hygiene
The way i see it, the difference between farmers and suburbanites is the difference in the way we feel about dirt. to them, the earth is something to be respected and preserved, but dirt gets no respect. a farmer likes dirt. suburbanites like to get rid of it. dirt is the working layer of earth, and dealing with dirt is as much a part of farm life as dealing with manure. neither is user-friendly but both are necessary.

Dirt is dirt, and we've all got it no matter where we come from. i'm not sure christ sees one kind of dirt as dirtier than another. one thing is for sure: his blood is able to bleach any stain left by any kind of dirt.
Blood Where We Come Bleach
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
