To me, touching the earth means staying grounded, present, humble, and not going off into ego-driven grandiose desires and goals. I experience touching the earth when I stay in the present, responding to what is happening in me, in the other, and in the situation at hand, and staying true to myself. What helps me remember to be rooted, when I do remember, is trusting the process and not be hypnotized by an ambition or outcome I want to accomplish. Attachments unroot me.
