Holding space for life in her decay. Hollowed and full. And still enough joy to bloom. We are here for each other. #cherryblossom #givingtree #stillsheblooms #feelthemusicThis hollow is about eye level. In a maple, in my yard, at the house I grew up in. The chain, it was from one of our childhood pets. Not sure which, Tuffy or Thunder maybe. But this tree stood witness to most of my life. Marked the passing of so many seasons, budding new leaves each spring and letting go of them all each fall. I’ve played and cried and sang and screamed under this tree. I’ve climbed to the top and swung from her branches. I think this was once second base of our wiffle ball field. I’ve run circles round her with those dogs. I suppose we forgot about the chain. But she just swallowed it up and kept on growing. Man, she always gives such wise counsel. Every time I stop to listen. Nature always finds a way. #chains #memoryoftrees #newmoonfeels #maplemedicine #feelthemusicSpider Medicine. Isn’t She beautiful? Thank you 💜 @cryptcelium_llc 💜 for this creation. My heart is so full. 🕸🕷🕸 #spider #wildart #magic Now to sit with her and listen... #feelthemusicPromise me to never hold fear with two hands. And if life knocks you down and your hands are stuck on fear, again and again promise me you will forgive life one more time. Let go, if only one hand and reach up for love. Though you doubt it’s there. Open your hand and reach higher. Fear is the bottom rung, child. And you are meant for much greater things. #forgive #feelthemusic #LoveAlters #grow #love #genekeys and #doodlingI’m sorry if my grief is not as palatable. If the stigma around his death sours its flavor. The shift in sympathy that follows the word “overdose”. The struggle I feel not to defend. I’ve worked too hard to stay open in my grieving to shut it down for you. I’m happy for you that life hasn’t shattered some part of your world to teach you this particular compassion. But maybe you could still try to learn? #endthestigma #mentalhealth #begoodfamily #compassion #humanity #grace #feelthemusicA had a snack of chickweed today. It tasted like the smell of husking corn. I nibbled on a young dandelion leaf too. And it tasted like the scent of its flowers. Tasting the waxing sun in the springing green. #thankyou #stellarialove #feelthemusic
