Some plants are calendrical. Their flowering and fruiting function similar to the night’s sky in marking time. Long before the widespread use of the Gregorian calendar, humans could turn toward the flora that surrounded them to know when the fish were running up river, when to plant seeds, when to move on to higher ground, and when the seasons were on the precipice. We still can too.

Happy summer solstice 🌞

We CAN gain power by EMPOWERING others!

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the award for the best corn. One year, a newspaper reporter interviewed the farmer, after learning he freely shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.

“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
