April 2019
This is a beautiful quote from an amazing children's book that holds wisdom for all ages: "Old Turtle, Questions of the Heart".
"The flowers of this field fulfill their lives in the abundance of their beauty. It is the pleasure of the flowers to give more than simple need requires. They adorn the earth and perfume the air, and they clearly say without the gift of speech that life is good and sweet, and though sometimes tangled in thorns, it is crowned with loveliness."
May you enjoy the flowers of spring this month!

Sacred Words
this month's wisdom quote
"Words that remove guilt, shame, and remorse show pure intent. A kind voice that rises and falls like a melody will draw others like a flower draws bees and indicates heartfelt concern from the speaker. A true voice speaks words that nourish our connection to the whole, the entire tribe, to all life. It reminds of of the numinous spirit within all things."
