Healing in the Garden

If I’m not a mom, what will my legacy be?

What will I leave behind?

How will my community or this earth remember me?

The answer is in Mother Mature. She has been a consistent mother.

She is neither good, bad or indifferent.  We see her every day. 

While we walk on the sidewalk, and drive along in our cars, and shovel snow, and use umbrellas or wear extra layers- 

Mother nature, who oftentimes dictates our mood (we don’t even realize it or give her thanks) has always been present. 

She’s neither good nor bad because she just is… 

Everyday she is out there germinating, growing, killing, destroying, ripping apart, dying the sentient plants, trees and soil. 

If we choose to look close enough we can see that she has always been present for us, just not in the way we realized. 

She experiences the life cycle everyday in so many ways we don’t have numbers to quantify it.

And the thing is, she is completely unbothered by your feelings.

She doesn’t feel sorry for you or pity you.

She isn’t excited whether you became a mom.

She doesn’t think any less or more of you.

And that’s because she is just being. She is germinating, feeding, destroying, dying, and giving birth everyday.
