The Goddess of Tobacco

The Goddess of Tobacco

Appeared in my thoughts

As I looked in awe at her abundant clutch*

Presented in format as alter and nest

Offering pleasure, deep breaths and deep rest

A luxurious reset; releasing stuck thoughts

Reminding my body to breathe in, once lost

An authentic connection to grounding and strength

A sumptuous ritual of being and bliss

She demanded I comply with her smoke and sweet spice

I overcame fear and exclaimed, "this is nice!"

-Eve Featherstone

Author's note: I don't smoke, but like many plants, the Goddess of Tobacco reached out to reset my body's rhythms and grounding.  The ability to have an authentic deep relaxed breath is hard to fake when you don't really feel it.  I really felt this and needed it.  A large enticing humidor (alter) was all it took.  Most plants don't have alters built for them like this.  There's a reason.  I chose a dark wrapper from a reputable company known for purity and integrity.

*Clutch - a group of eggs fertilized at the same time, laid in a single session and (in birds) incubated together.

Grow Your Own Beliefs

Religion politicizes beliefs. Religions market their own "brand." If you pray, pray for the dissolution of religion; an instant religious amnesia where everyone would forget all of the religious nonsense they've ever heard about, read about, spoken about or acted upon.

Religion is like alcohol consumption; everyone has their own favorite "brand." There are logos, marketing and dues to be paid.

Be good, think good, do good. Grow goodness in the garden of your heart. Religions sow weeds and retard each person's own unique spirit of contemplation. Our hearts* are fertile hidden gardens.

Your Own Seasons

Your seasons, four seasons

Suggest but deceive

For the seasons of humans

May linger or be brief

The experience not as simple

As yearly known weather

Not a calendar sheet

Not a scheduling tether

Your youth and your vigor

Are not one and the same

Your ardor and humor

Come from unequal extremes

Balance is only a pause in the strain

The scale is a lilting, a sway or a jilt

No one can say how long

You'll bend, grow or wilt

Memory will not store 

The duration it felt

As a natural song or wave

It will melt.
