I pass this garden everyday on my walk with Sunnie. It’s full of beautiful flowers and adorable little garden trinkets. Bird feeders, stone rabbits, and little benches. The garden reminds me of my great grandmother’s garden. We called her ma’am.
Ma’am lived on the farm my grandmother grew up on and her garden was incredible. She died when I was about 7, so my memories of the farm are closer associated with my uncle and blueberry patches. I inherited this photo of ma’am in her garden when my aunt died. The dedication it took to keep a garden like this… I only hope to have a sliver of that dedication.
I’ve been trying to find a balance between the gratitude I feel in my personal life and the pain I feel from the world. The nostalgia I feel passing this garden or watching my 12 year old Sunshine run like a puppy on the beach are the small moments clinging me to reality.
I had this instinctual feeling that everything would be okay and no matter how painful the world’s transition would be, it would be better. I kept whispering to my friends “I think everything will be okay in two years.” I don’t know how but I feel it deep in my soul. Like the thought isn’t my own, but divine truth.
So as the patriarchy dies externally and internally, I will hold these small moments close. Limiting my social media use has been extremely helpful.
I may become less and less active on social, but I am always here for you 🤍 If you’re unable to make my in person pop-ups, I offer distance reiki every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. These are my dog walking/ writing days so my schedule is very flexible for sessions. I charge $85 for an hour session.
Don’t be afraid to reach out for some distance reiki if you need it 🤍 Healing may be the strongest form of resistance to capitalism. Let’s heal the collective together.
