Top Three Native Vines That Attract Butterflies, Bees, and Hummingbirds

Native vines are a totally underused plant in Mid-Atlantic gardens. Filling gaps, covering walls and fences, and a great vertical element in any garden, vines can be used to attract native butterflies and insects to your garden. Vines are useful if you don’t have a ton of room and usually grow quickly and form almost instant screens. Major Wheeler Honeysuckle vine at my house Pipevine caterpillar…

Sometimes what we perceive as something splitting and breaking is in reality something growing, becoming temporarily more fragile in order to become stronger in the long run. Eventually it becomes so completely beautiful that we can no longer discern the original split.

The Church as an Archway

The Church as an Archway

I heard an illustration given one time that the church is like an archway in a garden inscribed with the words “We Preach Christ Crucified.” Overtime, the vines around that archway begin to grow and, as they move upward, they cover part of the writing so that it then says, “We Preach Christ.” The church is still preaching God’s Word but skipping the uncomfortable sections. More time passes by and…

Growing Vines

When we first met, there was a seed planted inside me.

Even though we both belonged to others,

That seed stayed.

I accepted it

And moved on.

Until years later when that seed was watered

When we both were

Broken hearted and lonely

And we were nameless bodies in your bed

And it felt better than either of us had a right to feel.

And vines grew.

A tiny sprout that got little sunlight and little water

But still flourished and grew and it was green when we felt blue

And from out of me, it spread to you.

This vine inside us.

Slowly we drifted when your relationship decayed.

We moved your pot and gave you more space.

But the sprout stayed.

I accepted it

And moved on.

Until once again, without thought, we watered it.

And your body fit so perfectly in mine

And your fingers and your tongue and your heart and mind

Filled me so beautifully, it grew.

And you and I bumped heads and you pissed me off

And it felt like too much, too soon

When i saw her and i knew,

Weeds grow too.

but she was yours and you were mine

And no one knew, there was no sunlight.

But god, we were good.

I took care of you when you needed

And you let me be when i needed

And you watered me and fed me

And kept me warm and

I wonder if you know that when i leave in the middle of the night

You grab my arm, my side

Whatever you can take

And you pull me back and

It grows.

It grows, it grows, it grows.

Until there’s a jungle growing in my chest

Overtaking my body,

Filling me till there's no room in my pot

And there are too many roots

Too many leaves and flowers and fruits

And its hard to breath so i start

Cutting and trimming and bleaching and weeding.

Until these vines have been pushed down

But still they grow.

And its so hard to keep them at bay.

And they grow. And keep growing.

And its so hard to move

I cannot accept,

I will not move on.

And then you tell me,

“It’s fine, babe. My field is barren.

There aren’t even weeds and the soil is poison

But you, you grow so wonderfully.

Keep growing.

And when my chest has been watered and renewed

I will take your flowers and seeds and fruits

And i will grow with you.”

And you’re right.

And I see you’re soil

And how surely, seeds have been planted,

How they are watered

And sunlight pours brighter and blinding

I believe you.

So I accepted it.

And moved on.
