JESSICA EMMANUEL

GROWHOUSE

In my home I’ve been caring for my plants with more attention. Caring for my self with more attention. Noticing the roots. Noticing the growth. Noticing the lack of growth. Noticing the heat. Learning about what nourishes and what depletes. Learning about how to identify and heal all things parasitic. Enjoying the heat. Enjoying the watering. Enjoying Spring. Enjoying letting go and enjoying taking it all in.
