Come forth into the light of things; let Nature be your teacher.

~ William Wordsworth

Believe one who knows: you will find something greater in woods than in books.

Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.

~ Saint Bernard de Clairvaux

Plants Grow Overnight…So Do I




Have you ever noticed that your plants seem to grow an inch or so overnight? My husband planted some Chinese peas and squash this spring and it seems that the plants have growth spurts overnight. Indeed they did because according to discoveries made a couple ofyears ago many plants do have a growth spurt just before dawn.

Since I've been noticing this lately what is it that Nature is trying to teach me?

I too grow overnight, not physically anymore, though healing does go on, but I grow psychologically overnight. I notice that my most intense dreams happen in the predawn hours. In fact this may be the time I do the most growing since I am processing what I learned through the day.

Perhaps it is time to pay more attention to those dreams, to begin writing them down again. Those dreams could be the food I need to continue on this path.
