Root vegetables, squash soup, curried carrots and roasted sweet potatoes
Earthing, grounding, healing and downward flow
This is my red root release
A continuation of My Father's Garden
We met again this morning
Out there in your garden
A promise of winter in the cool quiet wind
You were grinning at me
Triumphantly holding what looked like a giant red rutabaga
Turns out it was a carrot
Both of you were covered in dirt
It looked like you might've had to wrestle it from the earth
But you did it and you were proud
I came over to admire the monstrosity
Knowing that within the symbolism of this giant red root
Laid the secret to our healing
Only you and I understood the importance of this root release:
It meant freedom for us both
We shouted with joy!
Celebratory glee
We fell over laughing
Light and luminous
Hurray! It is RELEASED!
We are free
We are finally free.....
Curiously we peered into the dark earthen hole
Double checking to see if it was a clean break
No remnants remained
The earth was healthy, damp and cool
We gently filled it back in using our feet
The root held hues of deep red and burnt orange
Sprinkled with soil and old stories
Beautiful and mysterious
An ancient artifact of sorts
We haven't determined what to do with this beast
Roast it? Juice it? Hang it on the wall?
I am clear about one thing:
I don't want it back
Perhaps we'll bury it in the woods
Or feed it to my chickens
Leave it high in a tree to share with the eagles and the crows
A sacrificial offering in gratitude for our newfound freedom
My being feels delightfully cavernous now
Able to expand, breathe, belly laugh
Today I will celebrate being alive
And call in the next chapter
For us both
We are free
Pumpkin spice, chai tea, firelight and candles
Harvest moon, clear nights and silent starry skies
Homemade turmeric ginger carrot juice
Deep breaths and long walks in the golden leaves
Heavy blankets, snuggles and amber sunrises
Enliven your senses with Mother Nature's medicine
Soak these things in
I love the autumnal finale
And that of the ancient red root
