Who defines you? You? Maybe other people or your parents, siblings, significant others, children, friends, coworkers, mentors, enemies… Maybe it is “what defines you”, like labels, ideas, substances, addictions, mindset, limiting beliefs, fears, and so on. However, what if you are everything defining you and yet, nothing that defines you. What if you are “being” and “nonexistent” all at once? I call myself many things, as do others, but I am only passing through each of those titles and labels to experience the gift of living and refine my soul along the journey, as are you. Allow yourself to be
The most horrifyingly breathtakingly beautiful place to find yourself in is a liminal one, void of space filled with the heaviness of settling matter, suspended in a balance, but seemingly ever-grounded–a place in which you are never quite there and yet, always right on the threshold.

Nostalgic by Nadira Sayyida It was the last gift you gave me. A bag of seeds. We spent days tending that barren patch of clay– barricading it, watering it, tiling it again and again. Then we started feeding it all those fancy mineral mixes advertised on TV, and spreading cow poop because you said your momma said “baby, growing up through shit makes a person stronger.” So, I guess flowers could be like people too. If only we weren’t so fragile. We held hands, as I poured the tiny little dandelion rocks into those dark holes, and then we cover

Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other. And work toward that future with our particular strengths of our individual identities.Andre Lorde I pondered
Yes, this post is about snow water. Why? Well, because it is an integral part of my family herstory. See, my mother used snow water to heal us in many ways. Her mother used snow water to heal her and her siblings. My mother’s mother’s mother, and so on and on used Saponi snow water to heal our tribe. I will not belabor your eyes and minds with the countless spiritual and physical benefits of snow water, as a quick web search can say more than I have time to say here. Nevertheless, from healing wounds, pink eye, and digestive
