A little Chickweed story

moonlight on a seedling

Chickweeds delicate leaves and stems swayed in the cool night breeze. The full moon made her tiny white flowers glitter as if she was reflecting the starlight back to itself.

An echo of a memory of becoming. Were the first chickweed flowers really made from starlight? Is that how she got her name Stellaria?

She was lost in thought as the full moon rose high in the night sky casting its silvery glow around the garden.

The moonlight made her restless, the way it makes us all restless when the moon is full and pouring her light through our windows. There was something she couldn’t quite name that she was yearning for. As if something had once been there, something important, but now it was gone.

She looked across at the yarrow growing beside her. “I feel like something is missing, do you ever get that feeling?”

Yarrow nodded. “Something is missing” she said with a sigh. “Well, not missing exactly, but damaged.”

“What is it?” asked chickweed eagerly.

“The Earths energy lines have been damaged; these lines have been a source of connection and power since the Earth was formed. Sadly, humans have damaged them by harming the Earth, the animals and each other. Violence, pollution and unharmonious electromagnetic frequencies have disrupted the energy lines of the Earth making her weak.”

“How can it be fixed?” asked Chickweed

“By lovingly attending to the Earth and all its creatures.” Said Yarrow kindly. “We each have our own role to play. We just need to ask the Earth what she wants us to do for her and she will guide us.”

Chickweed closed her eyes and asked Mother Earth what she could do to help. A. vision came to her of her leaves and stems used to heal the Earth below her by drawing nutrients up from the soil which would go back into the Earth when she died back. She saw healing creams and slaves made from her juice being used by humans, she saw animals eating her and absorbing essential vitamins and nutrients. She saw that just by being who we are and serving those around us we bring harmony back to the Earth and in doing so heal the Earths energy lines. Tears like dew drops fell down her leaves as she realised how important she was in healing everything around her.

“I understand now” she told Yarrow. Yarrow nodded for she also understood.

Chickweed looked around the luminous moonlit garden again and this time instead of feeling like something was missing she felt like something precious had been found.
