Flagging
by my flagging presence
as shifting priorities
make unspoken
changes
necessary
Let not the unexpected
dying off
of interests
and involvements
be interpreted
as more than
the simplicity of
chthonic
growth
in process
Beginning with endings
the vis renews
itself

“Flagging” is a normal autumnal process that occurs in the Western Red Cedar when some older weaker branchlets in the otherwise evergreen species die off due to long drought conditions in order to conserve sustenance and growth for the rest of the tree.
The Vis refers to the naturopathic concept and Latin term of the vis medicatrix naturae -- the healing power of nature -- sometimes also used to refer to one's vital force, soul, the natural essence or life force that animates all living things.
Going through a bit of that myself. Well penned! :)
Thanks Tina. Tis the shedding / flagging season, isn't it?
Indeed it is :D
Great example of sympoiesis. 👍👍👍
That's kind of you to say. Thank you. :)
