THE POETRY OF PLANT MAGIC
“This class was like being pulled through a field of flowers at dusk, surrounded by fireflies. Magic, mysticism, and wonder are all around you.”
Walk with me to the edge of the forest…
and listen
to hear the language of the plants.
Let them inspire the words
that pour from your heart;
