“There is a silence, deep within.

An absence of patterns,

where light and shadow blend.”

-Jamie Sams (Earth Medicine)

“Have you given thanks for the tears you shed, the water you drink?

The cleansing properties of water allow us to embrace our next level of growth.

Organically,

Emotionally,

and Externally.”

-Jamie Sams (Earth Medicine)

With water, with tea, tell YOUR story of healing.

(I received this magic package called: Agony of Leaves full of all the above earthy blessings!

I am on a journey to fall in love with tea and to bring more healing to my body.

I am learning everyday to take care of this vessel:

This living, breathing, flesh and bone.

MY BODY.

The only one I will ever be able to embrace as my home.

An easy way I think is to drink more earthy goodness.

To feel the warm herbal tea flowing in my veins.

Lindsay Luna was kind enough to gift me with this glorious offering.

I believe it is because I need to tell my story of healing to myself and to you.)

Mixing and Mingling.

Saturdays spent deep in the Williamsburg forest,

watching the finches flit in and out of the bare branches.

Weaving conversations and sharing anything and everything together.

“As a drop of oil on the sea, you must float,

using intellect and compassion to ride the waves.”

Discovering the value of both intellect and compassion, learning the ways of each and how they embrace each other.

Together.

Mixing, mingling, dancing, touching and weaving, riding the waves.

Nature shows how the soft and pliable embrace the immovable and stark.

It speaks to me the importance of both.

I often think compassion is the only way and then I look at him and choose to open and allow intellect in to teach me.

To walk it’s way.

To grow into a bigger space that encompasses all of me.

Not just body and soul, but mind as well.

“Love is not only a life experience, but also a mystical experience.”
