So, remember the early moons of the year, when Siya? (Saskatoon) was opening out of winter’s buds that she held in offering on her stems?
Well, look at the offering now: light. Siya? is all offering. That’s a way of saying that this is our plant. It is for us. That’s why I can see it and can say “she is all offering.”
And what is this collecting of light and its extension into my mind for? Ah, for this:
They are meant to be taken. They are incomplete if we do not, but not just us.
This is what it is to be a part of an ecosystem. Western culture calls our reaction to Siya? “thought”, “hunger” and “desire.” It is none of those things. It is more.

I love that notion, “to be all offering”. A quality of life in the season of fruitfulness before the resting comes.

An offering, and a privilege as well. Your energy amazes me – the posts just keep coming, with beautiful photographs and penetrating insights. I like the way you tear down the walls that were built up by so many years of misunderstandings.
