Every item on your vehicle originated as a gift from Mother, even the plastic knobs are fashioned from oil that came from Her. Concrete, too is elemental in its beginnings. Not much more than crushed Limestone mixed with Water. Limestone has high Quartz, Calcite and other crystalline inclusions. Stop for a moment and think about what you might really be walking on as you make your way through a crowd.
Water is one of our most magical, and critical elements.
On a cool day, take your shoes off, and stand on the concrete, know that Mother is beneath you, just the same as climbing over stones in the Mountains or walking across a Stream. Your Plant Relations are all around you, even in a city. Every hotel I have ever stayed at has a Tree reaching for life from the middle of an asphalt meadow. One of my favorite places to leave a small stone Medicine Circle is with one of these Trees. To thank them for their gift of hope and the endless possibilities that determined life offers.
