June

The moment you enter your walk into the woodland you feel it immediately , this is abundance , this is awe and this is reality. The wise woodland is showing you now who after so long in slumber that you can flourish by becoming yourself as the myriad of plants , leaves and flowers confidently know themselves and share themselves into the world. The Hawthorn trees once again are overladen with bloom and beneath at their feet grasses , daisies , cow parsley plants sparkle in the sunlight. Berries are forming in clumps , nettles dangling their flowers and pretty woodland flowers are dancing in a sea of lush green. But , it is the wild garlic which tantalises you with its pretty flowers which look like stars and the increasing aroma making you feel hungry. This is heaven on earth and all you need to do is free yourself for a few hours of the daily grind and let the ions soak into you , as a meditation teacher would advice you , right now is the only place you need to be , let everything else be , nothing to fix , nothing to do but be in this wonderland of delights. The journey of nature connection is making a friend , the more you support and enquire into their life the deeper the connection becomes. Follow the berry through to ripening and beyond , see how the plants transform themselves through its yearly cycle , notice the different hues and tones of the greens and delve into the corners as there may be a tiny flower waiting for you. The magic of the woodland is within you , how you see , how you feel and what you care about.
