Hey mate,
I just got back from doing my morning spirit walk, kung fu, and giving thanks. It’s the best way I’ve found to become a little more native every day.
“I honor my spirit, enjoy and move my body, and align my mind with gratitude.”
As I was walking in the door with some plants to dry, I remembered a teaching given to me years ago from a trusted elder.
“What you need grows close to home. Notice.”
“Close to home” means close to you physically and close to you in time.
This year, I have gathered and dried more COMFREY and BONESET than I have in the past 5 years combined. They are both growing like wildfire “close to home”.
I don’t know if it has anything to do with “the swine flu”. I do know that it has something to do with me.
Another quick plant teaching, “Don’t ever treat disease, treat people.”
I could tell you what comfrey and boneset are good for. At least I could tell you what I learned in Naturopath school, or what I have since read in books.
I would prefer instead to just notice. My two friends, comfrey and boneset are growing close to home. I will give thanks, offer tobacco, gather, and share. My attention is on me, and my world, and the wholeness.
If you were to shift your perspective from disease to wholeness, following what I did here, what would happen in your life today? What would happen to change for the rest of your life?
Let me know. 2020@exhostage.com
And join us for one of our upcoming events.
It could be really fun! And enlightening!
Your friend,
