Now and Then....

The poetic guidance and spiritual wisdom of Hermann Hesse 💜 found earlier this week in “The Seasons of the Soul” a selection of his poems previously unpublished in English 📖✨

A dear friend first introduced me to Hesse with the book Siddhartha, given as a birthday present 💝 omg, in the years that followed I read nearly every book he’d authored!! 😍 one after another, and I bought this book of poems too 😊 but have only dipped into it so far..!

.

I just read the ‘Foreword‘ written by Andrew Harvey, it begins:

.

“As the great deciding crisis of our civilisation continues to explode, the wisdom of voices like Hermann Hesse’s — wisdom like a dry but rich old red wine — becomes ever rarer and ever more important. Hesse’s voice is particularly necessary because it speaks with deep sincerity of one of the key spiritual adventures of the last hundred years, that of fusing together the best of the Western philosophical and mystery traditions with the highest understanding of unity and divine identity of the East. This is an adventure that many of us believe provides the fuel for the next evolutionary stage of humanity and for the birth of a universal mysticism that can lead to a whole scale transformation of all forms of earth life.”

Wow, resonating with this as well 🙏🏼 I’ll be reading and sharing more from these pages ~ much love and warm wishes 🤗💓

Are we ever really living if we’re constantly focused on any other moment than the present?

In my head, I feel like I'm a guest, so I'ma throw it all away Because when I am dead, I will be nothing decomposing in a grave I'm matter, but I don't matter I can feel my skull shatter from the dull chatter Brain splattered on the wall Grey stains won't dissolve, gonna have to paint it all . #suicideboys #yoga #killyourselfpart3 #buddhism #lokai https://www.instagram.com/p/BtsTC3hlx6O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mqu7nazv9obh

Put in a good effort every single day, and little by little you’ll get to where you want to go. You must not give up. Keep at it, and you’ll get to where your heart lies.

Plants are our most ancient allies. They feed, clothe, heal + shelter us. They guide + help our way. They allow us to see + to be who we truly are. They love us unconditionally. I am so grateful that my heart has guided me back to them. A return home. 🌿✨ • This morning was filled with sweet scents of sage + lavender + cedar + pine needles + bay leaves… Filling glass + cork vessels with these beautiful plant allies that I gathered with love from the wild + from gardens. To burn and smudge + clean energetically + offer to the elements of fire, earth, air and water. 🐍 • Co-creating natural crafts + plant medicine for Boom Festival 🌸🌿💓✨
