Herbal Inspirations

 INSPIRATIONS

What's inspiring me this week....

Willow
the yellow explosions across the land
the tiny baby leaves
the flowers that arrive before the leaves,
like coltsfoot
and forsythia


Medicine
Bitters, barks, and beauty


Sweet and fresh smells,
that heal the skin and spirit
white sage
blue chamomile,
bulgarian lavender


creativity
and service
offered in pretty bottles


Women taking good care of themselves
taking longer walks in the cattails,
daughters romping in the fields
bringing home feathers

Poetry, naps, and journals.
frogs. eagles. herons.
yawning.
