Happy Spring Equinox.
Yesterday I made flower sculptures in Lotusland with friends.
There was mediation and wine and chocolates and botanical offerings pulled from the earth and put into earthen vessels.
We were encouraged to pay attention. To let the flowers lead. To not be afraid or precious. To not bend the botany to fit our design. To let it be wild and unruly. To fortify stems like scaffolding to hold one another up in jars.
What we pay attention to, grows.
Deeper attention makes us better stewards: of the land, the flower arrangements, of each other.
Letting go of the need to bend things to our will, allows things to happen in unexpected and beautiful ways.
