Taking comfort in the recurrence of winter, spring, summer, and fall. Drawing vitality from each to celebrate the mood and spirit of the season. Each of us, according to season or phase, will find ourselves moving along the wheel of life, marking the present, utilizing the greens and botanicals that are thriving at the time..."A snippet from my book....and a reminder to get out into nature today and create something beautiful if you can 💚Autumn Wreath.
