the Button Bush.    the Glorious Button Bush            in fhe 6 years i'd been here,    every year,  more FULL,  more glorious   More Butterflies.   and then….      I guess this is how it goes.   The canal people do this clearing on some maybe 5 yr schedule?   She's seen it before….when i arrived here in 2017  she was a small bush.   Bigger than this but not what she'd become.   

and so….she Begins Again.   I think of her roots.    With their equipment,   they disappear her.   But her roots.   Her deep self is there.    and     begins again.

    Thank you, Grace, for reminding us that each moment is a Beginning, again and again and again. May we each grow strong roots — deep, wide, and connected — so that we are always ready to Begin Again. Sending love and blessings

    This bush’s resilience brings to mind heritage roots and how strong a family can be in joy and sorrow. May we all be positively connected. These past few weeks I have been connecting with cousins, trying to close gaps that busy-ness and geography seems to have widened. And remembering, friends can have connecting roots too. Love to all here!
