Apple Tree
Apple Tree
Here is my fertility
From the sea inside of me
Pouring in the ground
Apple Tree
Apple Tree
May your roots grow wild and free
Branches stretching in the breeze
Hold yourself up now
Apple Tree
Apple Tree
Your flowers will be blossoming
You’ll be a haven for the bees
In your new mother land
Apple Tree
Apple Tree
Your fruits will swell so bright and sweet
So grateful will we be to eat
The magic of the Earth
Apple Tree
Apple Tree
You are another part of me
Together we’ll grow, cycling
Under Moon and Sun
Under Moon and Sun
This Full Moon is coinciding with the end of my Moontime and the arrival of an apple tree to our house. We planted it in the ground last night, giving me an opportunity to pour my Moontime Water (the soaking water from my cloth pads) as an offering to this tree as it transitions to a new home with our family. The beauty of warm weather all around, sunshine and the vibrancy of this Full Flower Moon created a potent atmosphere for transformation.
Today I sat alone, again in the bright sunshine with this new tree.
I began to sing to her, and she to me.
I share our song with you in the spirit of the blossoming before us, that we may each find spontaneous and beautiful ways of honoring life’s transitions.
That new ways of celebrating will appear before us effortlessly, that the songs of creation whose words we have never known will come through our lips, our ears will hear the our inner voices, our hearts will beat insistantly, and our own vital rhythms will rise up and be restored through us.
This is the value of ritual.
To bring us into presence.
To welcome us into a moment.
To be our own unique experience of life.
To revel ecstatically in the flow of now.
