Apache Plume

Featured by Singing Earth Alchemy, posted in flower essences new mexico, flower essences southwest

Appearances are deceiving. What looks like the ordinary can suddenly become amazing. I am a master of transformation. For most of the year I am a weedy looking bush with florets of tiny green leaves. My flowers appear in mid spring, and they too are quite ordinary. But as the sun becomes more prominent and more intense, my true colors emerge. People take notice when they see my brilliant pink plumes. I make a big splash!

Your true self, when you allow it to emerge, is also quite powerful. You are on your way to your own transformation as the Earth changes in support of your growth. You’ve been acculturated to tow the line, to be a cog in the wheel. That time is over. It’s now time to blaze your own trail in the company of others who are paving the way for the rest of humanity. What you were yesterday is not who you are today. Let yourself be transformed. You won’t miss what you left behind.

When summer has settled in and many of the plants around me have matured to the softer shades of green or gray, I stand out with my vibrant green leaves and bright magenta blossoms. You can’t miss the contrast! I’m like a cool drink on a hot day.

I give you the courage to find your voice ! Let yourself be heard. Trust  yourself to speak your truth, even when the world is saying something different. Your heart is your guide.

The color and shape of a flower expresses the unique design of its inner being. So it is with you. You are designed to take your place as a unique part of creation. What you say and do matters!

Skunk Cabbage

I don’t stand alone. We grow in large clumps, sometimes so tall and thick, we look like a forest. Our stems are thick and strong, our leaves long and broad, emerging in a graceful curtain of green. Small white flowers grow in clusters at the top. We are part of an unfailing ecosystem, fed by the rain from above and the rich moist soil below.

Our gift to you is the physical strength and stamina to get you through these challenging times. We support you on all levels – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Remember that you don’t stand alone. You are connected to the web of life that surrounds the planet. Know that there are resources beyond your comprehension available to you at all times. Just ask.

Hollyhock

White HollyhockWe came from the stars, like so many of you. We adapted quickly and produced many blossoms, each of which has a distinct five pointed star in the center, a symbol of balance and harmony.

We grow in gardens as well as places where nothing else thrives, at the edges where the soil is hard and dry, through cracks in the asphalt, from beneath gravel, next to paths where no one gardens. We find the sustenance we need. Our flowers are plenty.

We have fun playing with color. It’s one of the benefits of living on this beautiful planet. Though we must admit, you humans have much more opportunity to display color. As you grow from infancy to adulthood, you develop an amazing uniqueness in your outward appearance, your emotional makeup, your lifestyle, and your understanding of the world. This is the current story you are building, and everyone is unique. We want to help you accept and celebrate your diversity.

We can help you adapt to unfamiliar circumstances, to people and places you have not previously encountered, in times that require skills you haven’t needed before. Don’t resist the environment you find yourself in. You can find what sustains you and relish it.

You’ve noticed we like to grow next to people’s homes. We are aware that you humans are often in pain, and some of it is so old. You don’t need to keep carrying it around. You don’t even need to know the story surrounding it. It’s an energy we can help you transform.

Bring beauty to the piece of planet Earth where you live. Look for the goodness and beauty around you and be a light. Show off your colors so others take notice. Don’t let old pain hold you back. Listen to the wisdom of other forms – the trees, the wind, the birds, animals, stones, your own body. They all have much to share with you.
