“We began, as mineral.
We emerged into plant life and into animal state, and then into being human,
And always we have forgotten our former states,
Except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again...”
-#rumi .
As within, so without 👁
The transformation of spring is out and about 🌷🌸🌺🌿
...and my appreciation for the poetic process of nature has aroused an adjective-less alchemy WITHIN⚗️
.
The more I appreciate the changing of seasons🍂, the budding and dying of plants🥀, migratory birds🦆...the cycles of transformation in nature, the more I’ve come to appreciate those same processes WITHIN👁; or maybe it happened the other way around ...🤔
.
.
Rumi says 🗣🍂🌊:
“Inside each of us, there’s continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water...There’s a necessary dying, and then Jesus is breathing again...”
.
🥀This necessary dying, is a push from what Rumi calls the ‘The first to the second soul’ ...where there is the ground crumbling that lets the wildflowers come up’🌹
(Swipe and check out the page about this).
.
It is a necessary pain of changing - just ask 👉🏼🦋
.
Do you have a longing for transformation? What will we risk for it?🤷🏽♂️
.
.
Amongst transformation, I’m grateful for the experiences and teachers nourishing me to that necessary dying #grateful .
ANature is one of those great teachers for me. Myth (which I believe nature speaks in), and stories are powerful tools as well - 👉🏼 clips from the story ‘IRON JOHN’ 🤴🏽

OR...as I’m reminded today by this #flashbackfriday pic in 🌴🇹🇹🌴...it’s time to... “Go out, go out I beg you
And taste the beauty of the wild.
Behold the miracle of he earth.
With all the wonder of a child” #ednajaques .
As Iron John reminds me there is a Wild Man WITHIN me, so too is there a barefoot wild child who dances around snakes 🕺🏽🐍🕺🏽(that’s another story 😜). #wildchild .
.
As you playthe beauty of the wild this season, take some time to touch your own inner #wildness 🐣.
LETS HEAR YOU HOWL!🐺

“A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn’t play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly” #pabloneruda
