Tara appeared right when Niwa had finally choked down the contents of her plate. โ€œThereโ€™s an after dinner work party processing dandelion root, Niwa!โ€ Taraโ€™s big smile made Niwa long for a place to go hide. โ€œPlease, join us!โ€ โ€œUhhh...โ€ Niwa stared down at her slimy plate, then glanced around at her shifty eyed companions and Janica, who was looking around the barn. Probably for Zephayr. Niwa couldnโ€™t think of a worthy excuse. It was well past dark again when she stumbled back to her hostess Anhโ€™s cabin on the outskirts of the village.

#WIPsnips #faith #trance

 She danced and stomped, calling back her power that had eeked out walking relentlessly, trying to be a good guest, and weathering violent strangers and the loss of each of her companionsโ€ฆ. Her dance unified her with this place. Brought her new courage. Increased energy to take the leap of faith. Into the next swamp, and beyond. By her own power. She opened her physical eyes on the edge of the Great Southern Water-Earth, the mouth of the Mississippi.

Jewelweed, or "Touch Me Not", is the first medicinal/magic plant I learned this life & has a special place in my heart and many memories. ๐Ÿ’š It soothes irritation from nettles and poison ivy/oak when rubbed on rash/sting. The tiny seeds & flowers are edible. #MedicinalPlants #NativeEdibles #witchsky

a clump of jewelweed growing by a wetland on the Springwater Corridor bike path in Portland. More common in the northeastern US by streams, it can have orange or yellow flowers, though out west I've only seen orange. It has succulent leaves and stems, and though technically edible, the leaves cook down into an unappetizing slime. The fresh flowers are a lovely pop of color in a salad, and the tiny seeds are best as a trail nibble. It can create a poultice, or just be harvested and rubbed on irritation form poison ivy or oak or poison nettle stings for immediate relief.

#WIPsnips #scrub

 Cyph moved closer and rubbed a finger along Niwaโ€™s forearm, smoothly gliding into a wrist and hand massage before Niwa could react. The suave touch gave her tingles. Much nicer than Glitchโ€™s forceful, stinky hands. Cyph massaged her right forearm, seductive and confident. โ€œI could show you a real nice place. Itโ€™s an old mine shaft. Full of water. You can even swim there. Iโ€™d love to take youโ€ฆโ€ The thought of being submerged in cool water evoked a visceral response in Niwa. She wanted nothing more than privacy and the ability to scrub and clean herself. Her spirit felt as parched as her body.

๐Ÿ˜… I always assumed it's because when the seed pods are really ripe, even jostling the plant sends adorable little plant explosions- also called "jumpweed" because of the seed propelling reaction. They are so fun & reactive!

Ah okay, I just got it because it would do well under my Doug Firs. It's doing pretty well in the shade! Was excited to see it blooming last year... Are the flowers used to make the astringent?

mine are like 8+ feet tall this year! Though perhaps it is not common evening primrose? Western, maybe?

A beautiful succulent, its seedpods create a delightful explosion of seeds & curlicues when ripe. I spent hours as a child finding the plump ones to "pop" them, later collecting the seeds for wild foods workshops. As a teen punk and camp counselor, I demonstrated its crowd-pleasing ability to heal.

Jewelweed, or "Touch Me Not", is the first medicinal/magic plant I learned this life & has a special place in my heart and many memories. ๐Ÿ’š It soothes irritation from nettles and poison ivy/oak when rubbed on rash/sting. The tiny seeds & flowers are edible. #MedicinalPlants #NativeEdibles #witchsky

a clump of jewelweed growing by a wetland on the Springwater Corridor bike path in Portland. More common in the northeastern US by streams, it can have orange or yellow flowers, though out west I've only seen orange. It has succulent leaves and stems, and though technically edible, the leaves cook down into an unappetizing slime. The fresh flowers are a lovely pop of color in a salad, and the tiny seeds are best as a trail nibble. It can create a poultice, or just be harvested and rubbed on irritation form poison ivy or oak or poison nettle stings for immediate relief.

She wondered what the use was of knowing all of this, of living in this chain of so many lives, so many experiences, to end up here, a human in a fallen civilization. Rebuilding what? The drumming changed rhythm. Her vision pulled back to โ€œseeโ€ a broader view. She allowed her analytical thoughts to swirl into the background again, as her journey traveled forward in time again, speeding through the evolution of reptiles and mammals, and the onset of humans.

At some point, I realized that Liz Phair might be the only artist I have not gone a year without listening to. (My twenties were largely off grid.) This album still takes me back, every time, to the summer of 1995. #90sNostalgia #NotYourFavourite (90) #MusicChallenge youtu.be/iA9K9lZIQh4?...

Once upon a time, I lived in a rickety cabin on a lake in Vermont I'd walk down to the grass beach and jump in watch light play off the water into my living room hear the loons go back and forth see the foliage reflect and the deep freeze set in I miss that lake life #WaterWednesday
