Lyrics of Harvesting-Nettles-Jenelle

Harvesting these fresh spring nettles
Life giving
Nourishing for my soul-body
Right now
As I pick

And that is the value
In itself.
That’s all there is
And that is enough
All.
That is.

Nettles
Rich spring embodiment
For deep green multitudes of health properties
Earthly becoming
Into me.

Yet, also intangible.
A craving to do this
To pick tender shoots
To stand in the dewy grass of morning light
To smile deeply, breathe eagerly,
Thank the great mother and be grateful.
Be grateful

And yet, earlier this week
While picking my day’s nettle bounty
did I doubt and ponder
Question and be fraught.
Why?
Is this even important?
Valuable?
Worth my time?
The monetary value
Pales next to
“My Potential.”

But the who, and what, and I am
That I am now
Who I am now
Knows more.
knows more

This is real.
This is the real stuff
Of earthly being and radiant mystical oneness
This is real. This matters.

I matter.
Nothing matters more.
Nothing matters more.
