Growing in the kampung is not easy but like any other parts of the world, there are the pros and cons to consider. At least, the kampung I had considered as home is not really "ulu" as it is accessible by road and the basic amenities of modern life are readily available. Come to think of it, I have grown to like the quite and cool morning, fresh mountain breeze and lust green surroundings and the gravity pipe water from a rock spring 2 kilometer away is really an added bonus.
What I had not realized is that we had taken a lot of things for granted and had not really reflected the abundant grace of God given to us, compared to many parts of the world that are affected by earth quakes, typhoons, tsunami's, prolonged drought and so on.
One particular 'important' creatures are the lowly earthworms. Without them, many things that the modern man enjoys like rich organic food, herbs and sustainable eco-system, are not possible. In my future writing, I hope to cover many aspects of the earthworm and how they contribute to our well being. Until then, see you.
