planting: now, today and tomorrow.

i treasure taking time when i am in transition: 

      to not loose what is important to me, 

      to not let my dreams be blown away by the wind,

      to not release my mission prematurely...

i have been moving so much, i thought in the last 18 months, but then i looked deep into my life and realized i have been moving a lot for more than 11 years. that is a  loooooooong time. how can i do something for so long without noticing? i have transplanted myself from place to place in search of growth, adventure and playfulness. it's easier for me to be playful and open when i am traveling. it's harder to be that vulnerable around people that i know will be here now, today and tomorrow. a lot of my suffering came from not being grounded and from there came my desire to be as close to the earth as possible, to be outdoors, day and night, day after day and night after night.

now, the time of integration has begun, time to be part of what the world is today, to create it as i dream it and imagine it while at the same time being in touch with nature. gardening, taking care of the native plant nursery and participating in habitat restorations have brought me home, to being grounded, to having strong roots and to feel ready to reach towards the sky.

i have infinite respect for plants and how they sustain us in the most humble, generous and altruistic ways. for a little while i felt i had lost my connection to plants, i even felt dumb. however, they were just waiting for me patiently to come back, to become truly humble and as my appreciation grew, i keep discovering treasures of beauty, healing and growth at the garden every single moment of life.
