violet: humbly present

cool and moist earth medicine

take me to an open field
where the violets grow
wild
lower me down
where my hands can touch the cool earth

prolific 
purple 
persistent

violet, you're one of the first to arrive
no sense of scarcity
a rooted transition through winter and spring

let me wrap you in beauty, she says.
let me show you how to hold it gently
how to unfurl it all
an open hand to receive

bring your body closer to the earth
press your belly onto the ground
in all of your doing, slow down 
take time to notice and linger with me 
as I humbly hold this space 
gently growing
as we share in regenerative grace
