Oh, what an excellent post! I love the “pitfalls” aspect of it. Well put, well spoken. I’m sure I’ll be quoting from it, and referring others back to it — often!

I usually feel ‘befriended’ by plants. When I’ve crossed paths with those who don’t seem to like me at all, it really makes me wonder why. This post provides good food for thought.

Once again, Kiva, I am in awe of the depth and the wisdom that you have offered in this post.

And I agree with all my heart….. connecting with our plant siblings on this intimate level is vital in understanding what they so freely offer us.

Much love to you~

oh, now that’s just delightfully put, my friend… have to make sure that gets linked to, and put in the “students must read” file…

one point you might want to fix:

“Attempt to go of your expectations and assumptions while remaining grounded in reality.”

Assuming there’s supposed to be a “let” in there…

I’m a novice herbalist, just starting with my first teacher. Every month I look forward to reading something by you either here or on HerbMentor. I love the way you describe plants as though they are your close, personal friends. I understand that emotion. Thank you for an absolutely beautiful and inspiring article.

As usual, a feast for contemplation and practice. Your words provide us with a ‘how to map’ toward the expansion and growth, of both our minds and our skills. Much appreciated.
