Secret Garden
“From its own fetal curves, green fiddleheads produce ancient spiral formations. The fiddleheads teach me to unfurl my own lineage & experience patterns – examine them, be with them, and listen to their messages. The fiddleheads are gifted time-travelers. If I don’t learn the lesson now, the pattern will show up in my life like an unwelcome visitor. By meditating with the spiral in mind, I can focus my attention on re-encountering the old wounds differently and imagine a new possibility. The fiddleheads teach me the vitality of perspective shift. The fiddleheads teach me to respect the slowest micro-movement & own my way forward.” – Marie Varghese
Hosted by Mike Harding & Bana Haffar, who also provided the drawing and text.
