Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here. |
NURTURE your NATURE Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it? We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years. |
Down at The Shallot [Ajo ]: Summer time fun! Not! But not all of us have an aversion to muggy stifling heat. Me? I just go sit under Old Cottonwood down by the river. [Lily ]: You left out suffocating. Thank the universe for the Freezer at the Hog. [Bawang ]: Remember that one time though when we lost electricity. We all went down to Ice House. [Thoom ]: Good times. Everyone wanted iced tea. [Meadowlark ]: Well I like summer because it's harvest time. [Bawang ]: In the mornings. [Lily ]: Better at night. [Ajo ]: As long as Thoom has some lemonade ready I can withstand the heat. [Meadowlark ]: I like checking on the eggplant as I harvest the garlic and if the dillweed is looking good ([Bawang ]: which it always is.) I just snip some. It's also makes me smile to see how well the cabbage and chamomile are doing around the shallots. [Lily ]: I like collecting onions at the full moon after midnight. [Bawang ]: Yes, unless someone is howling... [Thoom ]: No need to mention who. I love how I can get ramps (what Ajo calls wild leeks) in the spring and then leeks later, long after everything else has matured, even into winter. [Lily ]: Winter! [Meadowlark ]: Well don't get too gleeful. I'll need help this week before the new moon makes it a bit hard for some to see. [Ajo ]: Yeah, like me. [Thoom ]: I'll provide the tea. Iced mint and chamomile should be perfect. Write about your favorite summer activity. Truthfully? My season to go slow, read or sleep For:
