“Dina so eloquently writes, ‘the vast blue sky was there for me to relax into, the mountain stayed strong.’ Her words praise our botanical ancestors and show how these allies are there for us in all times of pain and joy, on this earthly path. Iris, Hibiscus, Cosmos, Joshua Tree, each blossom teeming with nectar and pollen covered in bees, Poppy... and on and on. This devotional manuscript full of Gaia wisdom offers what most of us deeply crave and validates what we intuitively recognize to be true. Harmony, peace, balance, and restoration await us all amongst these sacred floral realms.”
