Evening Primrose. Art by Chelsea Granger, from Dirt Gems.
Oenothera biennis Night Bloomer Lubricating, sweet, neutralizing, and cooling, Evening Primrose primes the way. A moon-being and night walker, they are soothing and nourishing, allowing our tissues to relax as they empty of tension and rigidity. If you are bound up in yourself, irritated, frustrated, coiled, and tired of cycling thoughts, let Evening Primrose in like the moon through your window, gently lighting your sleepy face. Evening Primrose is nurturing both for those who have given birth and those who have suffered in their early years on this Earth. Evening Primrose unwinds long-held wounds quietly and in the dark. As an ally to young life, Evening Primrose holds those early experiences. If you have felt abandoned, rejected, or believe you soon will be, reach out. Evening Primrose is like a soft hand to hold. Reach out. If there is a voice telling you it will never be safe and you find yourself pulling away from commitment, bonding, or soul connection, Evening Primrose can remind you that this is not the only voice in the room. There are forms of love that are safe. Wrap this blanket of moonlight around you, shadows and all, and know that you can be secure, loved, and will not always be left. Author your story, and let your heart open into the waters of mutual and reciprocal love. Evening Primrose is for those times when we are most impressionable, like an impact on water that has ripples far and wide. Evening Primrose can assure you in soft whispers, You are wanted; you are safe.
