White Sage (Salvia apiana) fronds, organic, dried, from the new harvest, now on sale at Strictly Medicinal Seeds. Life is a little like a puzzle, engendering a sense of satisfaction when the pieces actually fit. I like to try to make use of all parts of the plants we grow--not only the pepper seeds, but the skins. Not only the white sage plants, but the aerial parts as well, and the seeds. Pieces of nature lend themselves to fitting together, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in synergy, admittedly sometimes in dissolution. When we create the whole picture, humans are there inside it all. Whether we choose to fracture the pieces, force parts together that don't belong, or alternately recognize the flow of things as they are, and prepare the ground for it all to come together, well, that's up to us. I try to create a pretty picture. Its nicer that way. But I also recognize the suffering, experience the pain, ward off the negativity. May the garden be the balm that expunges the evil and knits together all that is good.
