today i did a fire ceremony and burnt many things
yesterday i strained many plant oils and vinegars into smaller jars
today i consolidated many salves and balms into smaller jars
gifts and such
plant days
reminiscing days of giving thanks and saying farewell
i will see you in Dreamspace but not in present time again, soon
sadness, joy, and celebration
and a lot of work!
so much time spent indoors
organizing and divvying
i wonder
what new plants wait at my door
as i step from this space into another world
yet unknown
i wonder
what new friends wait to receive me
as i step
with so much emptiness
into a seeming black hole whole of
unknowing?
i wonder
what new gifts are waiting
i wonder
what unknown blessings
already on the way
await
and smile at me as i pack
and gather up my pack and my wits
gathering all of myself
as i journey forth
again
again
again
?
