Liberation with Shale

As city dwellers, we have to be intentional about getting our hands in the dirt. I mostly love living in Brooklyn, but this is something I really miss, easy access to nature experiences and sensations. I’m glad I made this part of our day. So grounding and settling.

When I moved in with my partner, I loved that he filled every surface of our place with plants. It was one of the things that attracted me to him. As we integrated our lives, I held the question, what is my role here? I took on being Queen of Propagation, taking clippings from our plants, putting them in water, and later potting them when ready. I made myself in charge of Zen Corners, making little corners of our place beautiful with plants and art. I also make the compost and take water from the fish tank when it’s time to clean it and put that in the plants. It fertilizes the plants and it is water conservation. We are celebrating eight years together next week, building this little ecosystem. 💞🌱🪴
