From Tarot by Caro, the Queen of Pentacles; from the Holitzka I Ching, Hexgram 27:
Some people, like the Queen of Pentacles, seem to have a magic touch when it comes to plants and animals. Her true gift is in paying attention to what is needed and then offering it. She fits nicely with Hexagram 27, which is titled Nourishment. What we attend to is what we nourish, physically or spiritually.
Masses of green fronds
Sprout from my brick steps.
It's a mystery,
How these ferns survive between the cracks.
What nurtures and sustains them?
Perhaps my care and appreciation
Encourage them to thrive.
Imagine what effect
This same care and appreciation
Would have on a human.
~BK
I also talk to my plants and encourage them. I nourish them, they nourish me.
