I want to start doing weekly calls for super cool up to date Connection Vibes. Who’s In?

I have a lovely flower of mine I see only her for my life We are triginty annos Her colour light olive, she’s fragrant vanilla, her nectar i linger Her eyes a meadow Her nose my button Her hair so enchanted I was lost and lips oh the angel of mine. Her stem her walk I know by the way she moves in the air I breathe Her sepal protects my flower I land on it safely like holding her hand I gently move to her petal, my existence Like a kiss on her neck, I lick and kiss it we arouse Her stamen, her carpel I release her and she releases me. If ever she cries from rain she withers I stay with her holding her to see the sun and moon. Her sepal covers me and we rest together triginty magis annos simul

A cold dawn Rays of light spiral our world She has many colours Precious red, blue and green Spirits journey to witness Warm their hearts to glee A miracle, my daughter Aurora How I love thee

Today is my daughter’s 16th birthday and I wanted to write my first poem to her. I also thought to share it here with you all as well. Poetry helps me be creative and connected to who I really am. Little wave 🌊 The water is enlightened Moves freely and fast Energetically creating her own deep dreams She survives and cleanses She is a way of life The force of her nature Powerful and pure All of this means Katania I love you so You and I share the water and you are Little Wave to me

Trees give and receive. Their growth whether that be slow or fast also are shaped by internal and external factors. Those factors can also hinder or be stressor. Working through them can be quick or lifelong. It takes light, water, nutrients daily to become healthy, productive and supportive. Its roots which most often not visible are growing and a part of the tree; they are like cultural identity, the soul and ancestors. The central leader, limbs, leaves, flower and fruit are my body and brain/mind. The benefits of trees like that of me can impact so many aspects for example, the environment, aesthetic, economic, psychological and social. They protect not only smaller trees from the elements but also the ecosystem. I too can protect my daughters, a role model for others, a guide, teacher, and a servant for others and for trees. Trees are sources of gathering and ceremony, unity, service and recovery and so can I. These are ways that mirror my recovery journey.
