My dream from last night,

“In the dream my valuables, passport and credit cards, have been taken from my house, and it is left turned upside down and totally disheveled. This is not a house I like anyway.

I go out into the garden and lean against a tree. I close my eyes for a moment to breathe. I have neither energy or will to go back to the house. When I awake something calls me to look back. There is a shed at the bottom of the garden and a figure comes out of it. When I approach I realize it is my Grandfather. I know his shed is beautifully organized, I don’t even need to see inside.

He says “Look, first you must tend to the soil. Turn it over, then rake it, see it becomes so fine.” He shows me as he rolls the soil between his fingers. “Then make these little rows. Watch as I drop one seed at a time, with plenty of space between. Then push the soil back over, sprinkle a little bit of water, and come speak to them every day.”

He offers me the old fold up fabric and aluminum chair and hands me a cup a tea. “All of everything can be changed” he mumbles …”shifted, totally recreated… just one step at a time.”

He hands me a pod of garden peas. “You used to like these. Do you remember how to open them?” I do remember and I remember the day he showed me. I pull the end and gently squeeze to open the pod to reveal seven gleaming beautiful nestled peas. It’s almost as if they greet me with “ohh’s and ahh’s”. I couldn’t help but smile.

As I look back to my disheveled rumbled house, and I feel myself letting go …it is a surrender. the passport … the credit cards …the mess of it all … I understand that what was taken wasn't really of value. I am holding something much more valuable.

As I stand, facing the back door, the house starts to open, like a lotus flower, then begins to fold into itself and reform into a totally new and beautiful structure. I understand a wisdom is being revealed.”

Taking heart from this dream that I’m called to share. We are supported by our ancestors. Take comfort and connect to what is of real value, our loved ones, the earth, the trees, tend to the soil, nurture and water seeds of change.

And today. my first home-grown radish arrived.

Sending love and healing to all!
