OK, forgive me for the cheesy headline, but don’t peaches just embody vibrance and lushness? My world is certainly getting lush – I love how grape leafs look a bit like a flower bud when they begin to unfurl, how my oregano, sage, and thyme come back in full force every spring to encourage the other new herbs, how EASY lettuce is to grow and makes you feel abundant so early in the season, and the graceful snowdrops.
Today it is time to nourish your soul and heart. Blessings!
Nine of Water – Peach (Prunus persica)
Celebrate the pleasures of life; delicate blossoms ripen into succulent fruit; enjoy your own sweet company
A vibrant peach tree leans over the bank of a river. Pink flowers float in a wooden bowl filled with pure water. The elixir brews in the sun. A robe hangs from a branch of the tree.
Meaning: Emotional nourishment is food for the soul. Invite comfort and happiness to fill your heart and enchant the senses. Peach trees are messengers of delight: water flowers dance, taste sweet fruit, smell fragrant blossoms, feel cool leaves, listen to birds sing from branches. Let yourself be immersed in the waters of life, touched by grace. Peach tea cools inflammation; wash away the heat of negativity and disharmony. the luscious fruit of the peach brings the slow gift of summer to life. When your deepest wishes come to pass, enjoy them fully and offer gratitude for your blessings.
