Liphted Herbal Sanctuary

Good Morning Sweet Life, so glad you dropped by. I have just put the kettle on and was about to curl up by the fire. Every breath must be treasured for it just might be my last, but I find joy in the smallest of things and the largest of dreams. So as I dream of great change fueled by the wind and the sun, I will today grab my rake to give these fallin’ leaves a good home in my favorite place at the edge of my yard. It’s my compost, I plan to give all of my heart. For it will give back when I’m no longer here. Give back to the plants and the earth and the deer.

As the weather turns cold, I sink into the peace of all that winter means to me. I love the winter days that allow me to focus inward to the very root of myself. Not so different from the plants I love, I need this time of contemplation. As of today, I have no idea what next spring will bring. I do not know what I will be doing, what land I may be working, what seeds I may be sowing. I accept this uncertainty with thankfulness and expectation. All I need right now is to focus on my roots pushing deep into the earth. This is my foundation, which will sustain me through the days and years ahead.
