4 good things: - I haven’t been to the beach once this summer. There has been immense healing in staying close to the forests, creeks & ponds. - been leaving my jewelry upon flowers after wearing them. the beauty of rest & recharge. - yellow taper candles. Been burning them on a daily basis and it just does something to me. - sleeping with marigolds next to bed … wafts of sweetness touches my nose as I fall asleep.

4 good things: - the mountains have been holding my grief. I thank them. I am remembering the medicine of compound loss - I listened to d"angelo's brown sugar album, no skips, while cupping my belly. I'm my own dream gurl ... - I've been in the mood to bake things. a sign fall is coming soon, a feeling I feel every mid July. - i watched mississippi masala. a blessing to my nervous system.

"... the attraction to flowers is hardwired into our brain because flowers directly signal the future availability of fruit, nuts, or tubers. Humans remember where and when flowers were observed to obtain food in the future."

The center of a daisy is usually where my tears rest. These days I cry words more than I speak em, embodying ocean more than human is the season I’m in. The flowers accept my water, as it benefits them to receive it just as much as it benefits me to release it. the wet water based teachings of reciprocity.
