"Did you know Burdock (Arctium) is not just an invasive plant but also a delicious and versatile vegetable? Brought here as a food source, has since escaped into the wild. The leaves are perfect for wrapping fish or veggies before grilling, infusing them with a very unique, earthy anise flavor. The stalk can be diced like celery or rhubarb and uses similarly. The real star, though, is the long starchy root with a texture and flavor that’s a cross between a carrot and a potato. When harvested before the plant goes into flower is a great vegetable. It’s very hard to dig the whole root, so most wild roots regenerate regardless of digging making it invasive, yet a very resilient food source. For countless recipe ideas using the root, google 'gobo' for recipes.
Happy foraging, friends!"-- credit goes to Eating the Ozarks (Facebook)

“The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood.”

Henri Bergson (1859–1941) was one of the most influential French philosophers of the late 19th century-early 20th century. Bergson was awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his book, Creative Evolution, Bergson wrote,
“Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.”
Some useful points to consider:
1. Because each of us is fundamentally part of one ultimate reality and all its implications for our existence and human experience, there is within us an intolerance for religious, social, and cultural conditioning that violates what we most deeply know is real and true.
2. No matter how hard we try to ignore, manage, compensate or anesthetize the cognitive dissonance and disharmony we feel inside, this inner conflict and suffering becomes a catalyst for questioning and seeking answers.
3. Rather than being told what to think, believe and feel, we begin to evaluate our religious, social and cultural conditioning against the truth we know inside ourselves and what we find as real in our own personal and direct experience.
4. Our path forward is forged upon a new relationship with ourselves and we discover a friendship with our heart in which we are no longer capable of betraying the deepest realities and truths it reveals to us.

"When you're really intuitive and you're really in the flow.. what you think is your way, is one and the same with Life's way. That's the explanation for manifestation. Manifestation is not that you create things out of thin air. You didn't create that, you had an intuition about something that was already meant to be. Your desire of what was about to manifest shows you how in perfect alignment you are. You're not creating things, you are intuiting the very things that are about to happen to show you how aligned you are. When you're in your ego, the very things that you desire are exactly the things that aren't meant to show up. So when you think like you can't manifest, it's not you can or you can't manifest, it's you're not in alignment. You're wanting the things at the moments that are not meant to show up, and when you're in alignment you're wanting the things that are the only things that are gonna show up. Manifestation is actually about alignment, not about creation. Manifestation is basically just a way of perceiving. It's just a way of interpreting what happens and is a game of energetic alignment." - Matt Kahn
"There is something familiar about the rising and falling of loss, how it takes us below the surface of our lives and works on us in some alchemical way. We are remade in times of grief, broken apart and reassembled. It is hard, painful, and unbidden work. No one goes in search of loss; rather, it finds us and reminds us of the temporary gift we have been given, these few sweet breaths we call life."
