Trying to learn more every day: About mother nature and all its wonders
I love the transitions of the awe inspiring seasons
Wrapped in the smell of the newness
Spring springing up to life out from the earth
The sun bathing every particle in warmth
Summer with its heat deepening the roots
Of light changing each morning
Twilight coming a little sooner each night
A season of transformation and deepening
All colors appreciating living vivid reality
Make it what you wish it`s here and now
Fleeting into time and space the sun
Warms every thing in it`s glow of love for life
Fall`s brilliance reminds us of change
A lengthening of shadows and lingering dreams

I would most likely have died if it wasn't for this plant.

Fever Few

   Fever Few

Tanacetum parthenium, a Strong smelling perennial with yellow green ,ovate,pinnately lobed leaves to 3 inches long.Clusters of daisy like flowers to one inch across. The cheerful white daisy flowers with a big yellow eye are lovely to see and keep coming back .

I believe the fever few has saved my life many a time when I caught a virus or flu I make up medicine with it and several other herbs just for those occasions.Fever Few will make a bitter tonic but is a cooling herb with a pungent order. It relieves pain,relaxes spasms ,dilates blood vessels,lowers fever,improves digestion,stimulates the uterus,and has laxative effects.

Soil

Any sunny site with good drainage.Full sun to partial afternoon shade.Frost tolerant

Six-month-old, well rooted plants tolerate winter temperatures to -20F (-29C). Most individual plants die in their second or third summer, after blooming heavily.

Feeding

Mix a light application of a balanced organic fertilizer into the soil prior to planting. When plants emerge after their first winter, mulch with rich compost or topdressing with a balanced organic fertilizer.

Companions

Mint. Also grown with beds of other tea plants where insects are not wanted. Fever few repels insects of all nature.

Fever few Tincture

Another great fever few migraine treatment is a fever few tincture. This is a liquid extract in which you are pulling out the medicinal properties of a plant. It is done with glycerin syrup or alcohol (80 proof vodka or brandy). This is a way to get the best fever few benefits. Gather the fresh leaves or use the dried leaves of the fever few plant and wash them clean. Fresh leaves are better. Chop them up and put them in a half pint glass jar. Fill the jar with glycerin syrup or vodka. Make sure you cover the leaves entirely and cap tightly. Shake occasionally and store for 3 - 6 weeks in a cool, dry place away from sunny exposure.

It's important to keep your tincture away from heat as the medicinal property in fever few, parthenolide, will be destroyed if exposed to heat. This is true for drying the leaves for tea of for any other drying or preparations of the fever few plant.

After 3 - 6 weeks strain the leaves from the liquid and pour into a clean and sterilized glass jar, bottle or droppers extract bottle. Your long awaited medicine is ready! Take 20 - 30 drops a day. It could be that only one dose is what will reduce the migraine but you can take it up to 3 - 5 times per day if needed and be ready to receive all the fever few benefits for your migraine.

My existence  is the cause, reason, and purpose for with I am here

Snow was falling like a BLOSSOM.

            I ROSE TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND MY WHOLE LIFE HAD CHANGED. Although I remembered that I was someone just trying to survive in a capitalistic society the wings on my back fluttering in the colorful wind all the spectrum of colors that I could remember from past experiences. Seeking for the unknown I shudder to think what exists in the dark realm a formidable expanse of cosmic energy.

I lay in wait for the changing tide wrapped up like a cocoon. This is what now is when there is not a lot of light I found this to be true.

While we are light beings the light from the whole universe around us sheds Light

upon us and gives us reality.

I exist because I know that I exist right now on this moving planet

Have you seen the light beings

To be is to exist

Bugs,Bees and arachnids.

The Unicorn

Will Burst 

From his heavenly rhelm

With all the fiersness

of the dragon

and defy the laws of physics

provoking a new revelation of life

Out of the darkness

I lay in wait

silkin light beams

dancing on my skin

a rhema from a purple preconception

my receptive

soul within and without  reaching for each starlight web in the    vacuum of the eternal
