As we ease into ever-so-slightly longer days here in the Northeast, my heart is lightened and I look forward to a year of connecting with and supporting friends, community and the beloved plants!
I often take the colder months to stick my head into the books and enjoy learning from my favorite herbalists and mentors. There is always something new to learn and inspire me in my work! I wanted to share this quote by Guido Masé:
“We live in a connected world. Not connected by the threads of modern human-to-human telecommunication, but by our interactions with the plants, animals, mushrooms, microbes, soil and stone, water, air, fire and light with whom we share the biosphere.”
This quote feels more like a reminder to me: encouraging me to make space every day, even in the bitter cold, even in a small way, to connect with nature. The moment I lift my head and open my senses to the outdoors, my spirit is enlivened and my heart fills with hope for what can be, and for what already is.
I am also pausing for a moment to share the upcoming 2020 BotanicWise highlights:
