If you kill off the prairie dogs, there will be no one to cry for rain.
- Navajo warning

Amused scientists, knowing that there was no conceivable relationship between prairie dogs and rain, recommended the extermination” of all burrowing animals in some desert areas planted to rangelands in the 1950s, in order to protect the sparse desert grasses.” Today the area (not far from Chilchinbito, Arizona) has become a virtual wasteland."
—Bill Mollison, PERMACULTURE

Water under the ground has much to do with rain clouds. If you take the water from under the ground, the land will dry up.
—Hopi elder

Burrowing creatures, such as prairie dogs, open millions upon millions of tubes in the soils of Earth. As Mollison notes, these "burrows of spiders, gophers, and worms are to the soil what the alveoli of our lungs are to our body." As the moon passes overhead the underground aquifers rise and fall and Earth breathes out moisture-laden air. This exhalation of negative-ion-charged air through the many fissures and tubes opened by the burrowing creatures helps create rain.
How could indigenous peoples have known this? By all our standards of scientific knowledge they could not. We have neglected to realize that indigenous peoples have always had access to the finest probe ever conceived, one that makes scientific instruments coarse in comparison, one that all human beings in all places and times have had access to: the focused power of human consciousness. -Stephen Buhner

If there is one common thread I have noticed in my herbalism teachings it is the shift in energy that can rapidly occur in a room when I open up and share about the plant spirit healing that has shown up for me in my life. By this, I don't mean when I share about how I was able to heal my rheumatoid arthritis with natural medicines. It is when I share about how reishi held me through a year of deep loss and grief, showing me the beauty in decay. Or how violet reawakened me the following spring, allowing me to connect to grandmother energy as she blossomed the joy of rebirth in my heart. Or about how rabbit to***co brought me messages from beyond the grave, that loved ones are still with us, guiding us, and no one is ever alone.

Whether people realize it or not, that is the natural state of human plant relationships. They are allies in more of a sense than food or medicine. The spirit of the plants contain archetypal energies that co-evolved with us to fill space in our soul's journey back towards wholeness. The plants may be drawing you in for what you think is a completely different reason. But when a class or conversation shifts into the realms of spiritual healing, a chord of truth is hit, tears may flow, and the space/ room/ energy opens up just like a blossoming flower. A revitalizing inhale of truth flows into our spirits and we feel a little more at home on this earth.

I never know exactly how a class will unfold when the title comes to me, but I look forward to the journey of writing Wild Worlds: Heart Connection & The Green Realms for The Wild Medicine Conference and allowing the plants to speak through me!
