Steph, this is wonderful! Like Maia, I love the fig facts and thinking of our inner landscape of flowers and your sensuous vision! I also love that you are blooming in time for the solar eclipse tomorrow. This is from Kate Belew (someone I follow who posts about astrology and poetry prompts I love). "During an eclipse, the lights turn off for a moment. Perception is altered. In the dark, what flame do you light for yourself? What shadowy inspiration flickers, asking for you to examine it more closely? Such is the magic of a moment like this. During this eclipse, what spark can change everything?"

Oh Deborah...I love this. And yes, a LOT was sparked during the eclipse and the subsequent astrology. May I pour it all onto the page.

What a beautiful question to explore...why? With curiosity and compassion for self. Hmmmmm, why do I react this way or that way? Why do I think this has stirred discomfort or resistance? I think you're onto something yourself! xoxoS
