Magnolia spp. Time Traveler Magnolia says, Get ready. It is coming. Change will happen whether you are ready or not. Magnolia asks us not to fight change or resist where our life leads us, but to let things become what they must as we build our lives with integrity. Slow down and trust. Magnolia reminds us, You are as old as anything on Earth. You have everything you need. When you feel as though you have tried to change and things always cycle back around or you wonder how you will ever work through something, Magnolia says, Let time flow through you. Everything you have lost is still all around you, and everything you have once been will be again. And Magnolia knows because they are 95 million years old. As they hold us in our entirety, through our history, our whole selves, and the nonlinearity of time and space, Magnolia has seen it all. With their velvety voice, Magnolia says, Persevere. With their guidance, you can endure the passage of time with voluptuous beauty. Let your swollen, teary eyes radiate your tenderness, your humanity. Let yourself be beautiful in all your states. Waxy, creamy, and tough, Magnolia asks us to believe in the fullness of time, to not waste our days worrying or giving in to expectations and disappointment. If you feel your limitations around you, Magnolia asks you to grow beyond yourself. We are often attracted to or called by Magnolia when there is a natural process unfolding in our lives that we are fighting or resisting. Magnolia will remind you that time and space have no hold on you.
