Really nice post @purplemoon. I'm not one for traditional meditation, I like movement so dancing has always been my way to meditate, I guess as everyone is so different that's why we have so many different ways to get to where we want to go.
I also am a big believer in plants ability to heal, the land on which we live in time becomes tuned in to our needs and we will find that all we need is provided for us. I love spring, it is such a great time for greens, I was very happy yesterday to see some chickweed back in my garden and I have successfully been growing nettles. I know most people see them every where but around here they are rare so I am very proud of that.
I must admit I'm glad Paco is still alive. I could definitely not kill an animal myself.
Good to see you writing again, you covered alot in this post.
