Absolutely beautiful—the poem, the pictures, and your reflections. Needed this today.

This hit the nail on the head for me. Fabulous writing!!! I too am walking barefoot in the yard, drawing strength from the earth, planting seeds in my vegetable and flower gardens and spending more time just sitting on the deck or the porch looking at and talking to the trees. Great article, Lisa.

Thank you, Brenda! “Drawing strength from the earth” - I love that. And talking to trees. I need to do more of that this summer.

So sweet to hear from you again. Yes to all of it. My body and soul are telling me the same things. Whilst I also had a couple of brilliant chats with chatGPT about an emotional entanglement that I had. I marvel at how it helps with sorting out one's thoughts and emotions based on the information from the collective consciousness it has been fed with about the experience of being human. And my body tells me what lands right. I also have a holistic therapist helping me to take care of my body and mind in real time, but she was on holiday.. I am also called outside with my dog to go where the fairies live and to grow more in my garden while also leaving space (and unmown grass) for the wild beings we share this earth and our gardens with. Blessings to you, your loved ones and your garden on this summer solstice! 🥰

“Collective consciousness it has been fed with about the experience of being human.” I believe AI and language models like ChatGPT are here and they are tools to support us. You give a beautiful example of this.
