Wow...this was a long one to get through but also one that made me stop and think...and think...and think some more. To me, I enjoyed thinking about weeds as a reminder to never allow people to tell us how to think...how to judge... That definitely hit a nerve with me as I thought about how much my father tried to mold me into what he thought all Americans should become...I was a weed to him but in my mind, I was/am a glorious flower!
Mary! OMG, I LOVE this! I have been on the hunt for Horsetail on the land here. It's such a beneficial weed/plant. And the fact that it was so tenacious and persistent growing near you migh just be that you could have benefited from its medicine. I want to go back and re-read this when I have more time. I loved it! 💚
Last thought.. related.. sorta.. I find it interesting how much energy people spend blowing away the leaves during the Fall. Where do all the fallen leaves go? Is someone making money from this? Can we use them instead of fertilizer for
farming? Do they meet up with single missing socks somewhere.. where extra pens and nail files and scissors and tape and tweezers disappear to?

Some herbalists believe that the weeds that grow near a person are in relation to what that person needs.
Love your willingness to challenge … thank you.
