As a herbal I have learned to complain in the changing seasonsembracing the noise and the course of life, death and rebirth that occurs in the natural world around us. Observing and celebrating these cycles has helped me become a better medicine producer, knowing that while the plants around me change, I change. My body moves through the same seasonal cycles, from youthful savagery, through powerful strength and eventually fading in my nod season. This is an accurate respect if I consider this seasonal cycle as a daily, and one annual phenomenon, or the changes I experience while moving throughout my life. The seasons are around us and the only constant is the difference.
