Today Jamie asks us “What do we wish to Nurture?”
Today I wish to nurture my dreams, in all of their forms. Acknowledging and nurturing the spongy, deep, mossy forest bed that is my spirit and allow a place for my tender dreams to take seed as I protect them within my being.
I forget sometimes the power within myself. I forget sometimes and share my dreams with those unwilling to hold the space. I forget sometimes that I am my own dreamer, dream-caster, dream-maker. I forget to nurture that which is my inherent gift, that which unattended can wither.
I wish to nurture the Universe that resides within my human form as an incubator and a green house for the tiny fiddle heads, precious buds and fragile flowers that are harboring the fruits of my deepest dreams for love, family, community, and humanity.
I drop the seeds into my fertile bed and nurture them with love, patience, and magic; awaiting the day when my body cannot contain the growth of them any longer as their sheer size and weight explodes from my being into a reality of my choosing.
I nurture my spirit as a lush nursery for my dreams.

OH I LOVE THAT ‘lush nursery for my dreams’ … you look very peacefully inviting in the photo; I think your dreams definitely have a haven. Your cheekbones SING!!! do they know lullabies, then, too? As Shamsi wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well. Thanks for such a beautiful post!
LOL – Thanks Toni
yeah, I vaguely remembered this picture and how it felt when it was taken…just like I was gathering dreams and pulling them deep into me 
No lullabies…but I remember a hymn my Grandmother used to sing with me at bedtime – “Now the day is o’er, night is falling ni-igh, shadows of the evening drift across the sky….” I think this must be the lullaby…thanks.
