Description

Photosynthesis is a poetry collection inspired by an herbalist's meditations in nature, and her own experience creating mindful connections with plants and trees from around the world. The poems highlight her own journey of healing and self-discovery, exploring themes of transformation, empowerment, identity, love, joy, meditation, and spiritual freedom. They are love poems to the Earth and Sky, explorations of the natural world, personal revelations, conversations with the universe, inspiring moments of bliss, and experiences of union with the divine.

The author reminds us that the Earth is not just soil that we walk on, but a living ally and an honored teacher. Her poetry speaks to the idea that we are a part of a larger interweaving of wind, water, root, leaf, and vine; and that with intention and devoted presence, we can tap into the mycelial consciousness beneath our feet, discover limitlessness in the sky, and know our own belonging in the embrace of this living universe. These poems are a shamanic ode to our own rooted reclamation, an ecstatic dance into the sacred wild, and ultimately they are meditations on the true Self, witnessed as whole, holy, unified being.
