Late spring is the time when the Earth sings at full volume. Each plant offers not only a physical medicine but a story, a metaphor, a teaching for those who are willing to listen.

Have you ever reacted to a situation in a way that felt inconsistent with your wisdom, experience, or age? This phenomenon, known as identity misalignment, is common in everyday interactions.
