Now, more than ever, we need to lean in toward the light. Look to the plants…build community, walk with compassion and love, stand strong like an Oak.
In challenging times, it is so important to find joy where we can. Keeping our joy levels up helps build resilience and strength to face difficulties. The Elder shows us the way as she stands guard protecting our gardens. 💚 What small thing can you find joy in today?
There is much to be done in this time, but always there is work to be done…always the world is both beautiful & troubling. Always there is peace & war somewhere in the world, a battle being fought either within us or without. Together we are a mighty force, and together we can weather these storms…
