Look forward to your book 📕!!!

“…we humbly often ask it to help us with our bladder functions, that organ system whose official is one who controls the storage and elimination of fluids. Which I honestly cannot underline the importance of as we are all very fluidey people, composed mostly of intricately arranged and flowing fluids. The organ that releases and holds fluids has a big impact on how the fluids flow within the system and supporting our bladder can go a long way in supporting ourselves.”

.

All the things in nature are together in one place.

Each thing is moved by nature’s pattern.

.

Signals give direction.

The whole divides in to parts. 🧬

.

The parts move around and in and out of each other.

Like water flowing in rivers 💦 and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor 💨 and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.

The water flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.

.

Every part is circulating, round and round. 💫☄️🪐⛈️🦠🧬🌪️

Things unFold 🌱 then enFold 🍂 .

Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩 because each part belongs to the ONE whole cosmic song 🎻 and dance 💃🏻.

So good!!! Can't wait for a book to hold in my hands someday. As an herbal semi-amateur, I am grateful to your approach as depth.

You asked for feedback. Aquarius Gemini here says: Only thing is to separate "info" announcement stuff in your post from the actual herbal goods, i.e. here, make the horsetail piece a standalone article. That way, she doesn't get lost in the shuffle. It seems people can easier digest less online at a time. But I could be wrong! Def recommend separating topics tho. 💕

Thank you for your wisdom! 🙏🏼

I enjoy your style, and your way of looking sideways, Sasha. Keep it up. Your life path depends on it. It is good to see you expressing in this particular way again.

'Horsetail is many, structured, unfolding, cascading, skeletal, sectional, verdant and cool.' This has already brought me blessings in your sharing. Feedback? It feels as if the sentence just quoted holds it, especially 'structured, sectional and skeletal'. And I'd love that 'unfolding' to include a specific personal encounter.

will you submit this for scrutiny by appropriately qualified peers and attempt to publish in a reputable journal? If not, why not?

if you cant understand why not I suggest you keep reading....something to do while i ask the plants and ancestors - my appropriately qualified peers. However i dont think they publish reputable journals on this plane so we might have to wait on that.

What a delight to read. I, for one, would treasure such a book written by you. This essay reads in a familiar manner, like sitting in a plant circle with you, eyes closed, smelling, tasting & feeling whatever story a particular plant had to share. Wishing you a sharp quill and a fountain of ideas!
