I honestly don't know that I have enough mental energy reserves to go down that particular rabbit hole. I'd rather revel in the beauty of what we have nurtured in our garden this season and in my role as plant mama. It is summer here after all. I'm in the mood for warmth and light! I'll leave the darkness to the depths of winter reflection.
I feel the same way!! And I'm deep in winter. The motherly aspects of myself are definitely out - nurture where I can, ignore the things I can't change lest I go crazy with it!!!! It's a positive way to spend your time and connect to GOOD energies.
And there's yin and yang in all things too - gosh I could write a whole post on this!!! The dark earth (yin, feminine) cracks the seed open (masculine) which sends the green shoots up to be watered and nourished (feminine) and tended, to be raised and then cooked (feminine) - the sun (masculine) aids the growth - it's not that you are 'just' mother, but working in union with all the positive energies that help good things happen.
And only you can weave cucumbers into the sacred feminine!
Those crazy beans - what a name! You've got some great heirlooms there. I got some great seeds the other day - so excited for this ribbed zucchini, wink wink nudge nudge.
Love, love love this earth mother side of you --- what a beautiful, perfect response to this challenge, thanks soooo much for taking part! I hope some men are realising that they too access their 'feminine' side when they tend the earth and bring things forth into the world through such food creation!
I really am trying to do just that! Getting sucked in to the mire some days, but overall I am hoping that more of us, indeed, are focusing on the creative aspect that comes from the ashes.
I've only hit on a few of the posts so far for the challenge (as always wish I could "create" more time), but so many have been inspiring and beautiful in so many ways. Can't wait to see what other ones are birthed into the blockchain in the next week. 😊
That bloody mire!!! We're in Stage 3 again - locked DOWN. At least it's coming into Spring soon.
We can enter the mire, that's allowed, but know it's temporary - we can struggle on up again. xx Love you.
