Passages

Passages connect the present to the past, fantasy to reality
Art makes waves in every moment, cascading past boundaries
Did your wishes come true then vanish without sustaining life?
Do you know on what level you made agreements with strife?

Your essence continues to slowly distill itself into a concentrate
Unoriginal thoughts of little value bubble up, then evaporate
Did you think your ride would always be smooth until the end?
Do you possess the stamina to make solemn truth your friend?

Honeysuckle for Harmony

April 13, 2013 1 Comment

My favorite flower essence is made from the honeysuckle flower.  As children this flower may have been part of our regular enchantment with nature.  Most of us were taught how to pull the stamen down and suck the nectar out of the flower for fun and some insect style nutrition.  I have two large plants that supply fragrance like crazy.  I make and drink fresh essence from the flowers in mass qualities.  It tastes like it smells, and the emotional remedy it supplies is deep release from past experiences.  It is both edible and drinkable.  It has been used for centuries medicinally.  You can’t go wrong with honeysuckle, even if you just sit next to it an breathe.  It is a happiness plant.  The flowers start white and turn yellow as they age.
