one sentence from her and i knew.

i was called to work with my tea teacher in opening to a deep relationship with tea.

“tea wants to be human” she said. and i felt it in my bones.

we are nature, and we can’t separate ourselves from the nature that we are, no matter how much we style ourselves to be somehow lording it over it all - our brethren.

(hello religious and capitalist conditioning!)

AND…

if there is one common thread i find in relationship to all my plant friends is that they all love to have a taste of the human experience.being embodied in the human body is such a coveted experience in the universe.

plants friends will show you just how much they love to feel through you and what a thrill it is for them to co-create with you.

oh, and they will show you just how damn lucky you are to get to be embodied in this exciting, dramatic, epic experience of being human.

to feel! all the things. what a superpower! and what a treat.

if you are open, they will show you where you are holding back.

how to open to more life.how every tiny last bit of this human drama gets to be made into art

at the cosmic level.

true mixed media art.forever unfolding

and blooming into newness.

nothing gets wasted.

it all gets made into art.

one of 30 mixed media paintings in the series “under the giant trees” inspired by plant medicine and nature friends.

this piece forms a beautiful triptych with "you lucky human, you", said the mushroom I & II

amongst the delectable textures of these paintings, you will find ethereal glimpses of tea, roses, poppies, cannabis, mushroomiez of all kinds, spider webs, chamomile, crows, antlers, and more.
