Episode 59: M.M. Tending to Your Garden

This episode is a short 10-minute Monday morning musing with me, Heather Miller. I read a poem by Antonio Machado called, "The Wind, One Beautiful Day." It goes like this. 

The wind, one brilliant day, called 
to my soul with an odor of jasmine. 

'In return for the odor of my jasmine, 
I'd like all the odor of your roses.' 

'I have no roses; all the flowers 
in my garden are dead.' 

'Well then, I'll take the withered petals 
and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain.' 

The wind left and I wept. And I said to myself: 
'What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?' 

In the last half of this episode I share my thoughts on the pandemic and loss, a few metaphors on growth, and give a recommendation for Jungian analyst Marion Woodman and Robert Bly’s work. It’s vast. Finally, I share a thought on interdependence and what can happen when we come together.
