Yin Latte?

This morning Scott and I found our tongues tangled in some philosophical tangent involvinging non-duality, love, a sense of responsibility and reflexive liberation from it, grunt work, astral bodies, and--finally- the staple rounded realization of " Right, so we actually don't have to do anything AND we choose to embody the pleasure and light in this experience Now!"

heh.

We really love this tea!

Naturally, my next steps were:

1. Put the Kettle On
2. Brew a pot of Gynostemma and Ancient Forest Tea 
3.  Mentally Kiss the local critters who made last night's compost diapppear
4. Place 1 tsp. Reishi
5. 1 tsp. Chaga
6. 1 tsp. Cordyceps
7. 1 tsp. He Shu Wou
8. 1/3 tsp. Shilajit
9. into my new japanese tea mug and
10. pour in love
11. and tea
12. and a luscious splash of local raw goats milk
13. stir and sip!

 exaltant YUM :-)

( Note: this described recipe is especially indulgent and belongs to the I deserve this,  I am menstrual and need extra mushrooms in my 

morning tea  mind-body pattern. Typical daily dosage is 1/2 tsp. of each respective mushroom. These are precious and powerful foods!)

Kale! the new Kleenex!

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a beautiful ball of light and joy and superfood wizardry....  enlightenment struck as a friend, naturally-- needing to clear the phlegm-- blew his nose into a big supple leaf of dinosaur kale... yes! God!

being a woman:

i love you
i love you
i love you
now i love yam


(inspired by Gary Snyder, always-- thank you!)

Oh, Anais!

the beauty is...

when my hope to 

surrender

climbs through

my flesh, 

 and i see my neck snapped

in half and 

a throat  silenced

my breasts loved and

willow leaves

binding my wrists --

I walk into the garden

shovel compost and 

weed. and weed. 

and like magic

all is fertile

and whole

opening: 
a change of mind is 
a change of heart is 
breath.

desire!

Yes! A bra is ironic!
