Reclaiming (and banishing) Mundanity

* Writing off someone as "just some Mundane" is right out.
* But look at the root of the word; mundus; world; earth
* A tangent: Lots of spiritual/woo stuff talks about "purification", there's arguments back and forth about whether this is puritan horseshit or value-neutral hygienics.
* I like to think of it in terms of what goes in what place. Dirt is a great and good thing when you're working in the garden, but less welcome inside

Half-baked essay thoughts 

* That cleanly brings us right back around to the main point; dirt/earthiness
* Sometimes you gotta get mundane. Sometimes you get mundane when you don't want to.
* Either way it's a good idea to have a notion of how to get back out of it when you don't want it anymore.
