JUNGLE – Flora – Green Wisdom Cards
“Diversity saves the earth”
Like the jungle you are – fecund, full of life forms, shapes, diversity – be your own hothouse of growth and variety. In your fertile wetness, produce and reproduce again and different and more. Drink the waters of life, feel the rain of rejuvenation and let it ferment into life. Open up to the mother of creation that you are.
In this greenhouse way of life, all ideas, emotions, people, situations, everything propagates within yourself and grows and evolves and changes and produces. Make your world a seed and garden for life gone wild.
Taste the dense quietness
Smell the earth
See the exotica otherworldly,
Feel the shade in the heart of darkness
All senses opened, receptive, welcoming
Host and repository -
A Life Bank.
Sensual
Cradle and cauldron of alchemical
Possibilities
and dancing phantasmagoria
of hairy foliage
Imagination gone ape.
Greening man and woman
in perpetual renewal
of erotics and sex sumptuous
Steamy hot
wet and wild.
Dense and denser
captive of creativity
surrender to the body
and its needs -
touch and penetration.
Expression manifested
with no judgment, no blocking, no contraception,
let it flow, let it flower
trust mystery
and let breathe.

GROWING GROUNDS – Flora – Green Wisdom Cards
“Life is a garden”
You are born of this earth, by this earth, and for this earth – here to create, grow and produce. Indeed, your life is a patch of earth to make a garden. Know that your soul and soil have the right stuff for feeding yourself and others, for living a healthy and wealthy life. You have resources and you have choices. What is it that you want to grow? What is your life work?
Recognize the soil from which you have grown up. You have a unique background, a personal history of distinctive DNA, parenting, schooling, location. Are you using that grounding, or have you moved on? However you’ve been planted, that foundation is a viable and valuable seed. Take it with you, adapt and evolve it. Your past is cultivable.
Of this earth, know that dirt is not dirty. All of your life – the base, the downtimes – is fodder, full of resources that are useful. Life can be messy and muddy, barren and rocky, but jump in. You need to get down. Embrace your life, crawl on it, dig into it, touch it, feel it, smell it. Feel your feelings. Do the do and walk the talk.
You are a gardener, the caretaker of life. Tend your garden with tender loving. Select and protect. With continuing vigilance, weed out and keep out that which could take advantage and steal your bounty. Water with love, sunlight with spirit, aerate with renewal, feed with action and materiel. Invest time, energy and wisdom to bear the flowering and fruition.
What are you growing?
Do you cultivate your inheritance, resources, skills?
Are you fully into your life’s work?
What is coming to bear?
How to protect your growth?

“Nature uses and recycles all of itself.”
Like a palm tree, make sure that no thing goes unused. Every thing, every one, every where, every situation is useful, all past roots, present trunk, and future fruit. Ecologic is economic.
In the core of the palm is the gift of creation and re-creation, just as Easter rebirth and resurrection is in your hands. Eternal life comes with starting over – again and again and again – and is a natural by-product of re-sourcing and re-cycling all your gifts. Even in dry sands, you are a self-sustaining oasis of regeneration by reaching deep into your own wellspring that nourishes your thirst for aliveness.
As a victory palm, you bring life to all who seek your refuge. Hidden under your shady frond is relief and refuge. You are a full service branch of untold resources in service to the family tree, yet whole unto yourself.
Your full stalk of fertility
Reaches to skyward light
Look up! Wake up!
Lest the coco nut
Whack you
On the side of the head.
Coco loco
Now you see differently.
The plumage of your verdant
Phoenix
In its singular beauty
Carries the milk
Waters of life
That fans and oils the flame
Of eternal growth.
With erected spine
Of standing tall,
And flexible maypole
Bending low …
The life source flows
Freely.

“Nature creates to the flush of desire.”
Feeling the heat of creation in your fire cauldron of conception, pursue the great turn on. Your enflamed desire to create comes from the primordial passion of the spirit to move love’s body.
In flower, you are nature’s emergence of coming out. With your scent of readiness, emit the perfumed call of arousal and the appealing power of your petals of attraction. In red excitement with purpose, stand out, present and show, come forth, open up.
Consumed by obsession for ecstatic transcendence to the flower of glory, you are never the same again. Knowing it’s there when the feeling is there, when you can smell it, the bouquet of desire and victory is at hand. Savor the sweet taste of success. Kiss the sensual fullness in prime.
Your female invitation
Of covered mystery
And swollen seduction
Entices the big draw
Into the meeting hall
Of introduction
And reception.
Your male eros resurrected
To engage and enter
With seed to give
And self to share
Commit to regeneration.
In the seminal gathering
Of co-creation
Feel the blossoming peak of
Orgasmic origination.

“We live to grow … we grow to live.”
Let the tree be your teacher. A body of knowledge, it reminds and inspires of the way to grow and go. Your life is to expand … every reaching … ever seeking … ever greening. From sprig to giant, it’s a reach, so keep extending yourself. Young or old, small or large, there’s always room for growth.
To be the offspring of the rivers of life, make sure you are well founded, well grounded, well placed, well sourced, and well bred into well being.
Guard against invasion that inhibits your expression. Keep your cactus thorns of defense by deterrence. Maintain your think skin and bark against intrusion.
Grow healthy in the elementary circulation of life’s blood… the waters of love … fires of inspiration … soil of sustenance … air of expression. A seeker of light, yet be at home in the dark.
In the grove of community as friendly foes of family, you stand alone and together to compete and collaborate for extended life.
Grow …
From seed idea
To seedling
From roots of inheritance
To trunk of power …
From branches of change
To leaves of love.
In your fruit and seed
The towering redwood you be.
In the fold of the family tree
You are
Father progenitor
Mother nurturer
Cactus crone protectress
Grandfather guide.
Root down
Move up
Grow around
Branch out
Stay within.
With thick skinned
Perseverance
Follow the silent majority
And your inner majesty.
Stand for something
Not to fall for anything.

ROOTS
“Roots are the secreted pathways of success”
To support your growth, root in and establish yourself. Set a base and foundation. Your roots are tentacles to resources, arteries of communication, and sensors of intelligence.
Rooting is not glamorous. Get down and do the dirty work, ever soiled down to the gnitty gritty of night’s homework. Pay your dues, prepare, and your time will come.
Go back to your roots – to the simple values and actions of your tradition, family, and culture. Find your inner moorings of strength. Your roots are your inheritance, and they will serve you well. Don’t forget. Remember what got you here.
To go high … go deep
To go fast … go slow
To go noticed … go unnoticed
To go ahead … go back
To go into the light … go into the dark
To go free … go contained.

PEAPOD
“Nature wastes no time nor space.”
Nature knows when, just as peapods know when to open. So, to be on time, follow your own time. Move to the organic logic of your inner beat. Act only when ready. Unhurried by mind and competition, the right time is the ripe time of quality. Knowing yourself and trusting yourself are the clocks of success. With patience to wait and say “not yet,” and courage to proceed and say “yes now!”
Be ergonomic and economic. With pod packaging, just enough, recyclable and practical, present your gift with precision. Find the form that fits the function. Nothing less and nothing more will do.
Ah, the art of presentation … how do you offer your services? … speak your truth? … carry your body? … convey your feelings? Find the medium that works for you. Success is by design. The medium is the message.
Peas in a pod
Quantities of quality
Keep your standards
Of efficient
And effective
Repetition.
Over and over and over
Again …
Test proven
And time worthy.
Let experience and Experiment be your guide.

WHEAT
“Nature is a continuing harvest.”
Gifted with a unique kernel of genius of your own, sow it and grow it into golden riches. Bringer of the royal treasure, you are the staff of life, the carrier of the daily bread.
From the humblest piece of dirt to the endless waves of grain, everything is a harvest, if you harvest it. Gather the goods under your feet, in your hands, within your view, throughout your life. Collect and share, gather and gain.
Complete and finish. With your bounty, you have the wherewithal to move ahead.
Reap what you sow
Be a closer.
Bundle your wealth
Your stalk and stock
To account for
The measure of success.
Nothing undone,
All is done
Full and fulfilled.
In the celebration
Of the daily harvest moon,
Smile.

CORNUCOPIA
“Nature is a non-stop mom.”
You are the mother, producer of tomato babies and carrot heads. As a pregnant, abundant, rich cornucopia, simply yield your harvest from within. You birth spirit into matter and bear seed into maturity. Planter, nurturer, harvester, your miracle is to manifest with bottom-line creativity.
Gather and display an irresistible sumptuous array. Cut and clean, pare and select, give your best and let it go. Fulfilled, satisfied, complete. Rest and begin again. You are the progeny of production, born to birth.
The fruit of the loom
Is in the apple of your eye
And the belly of your desire
So, let them free.
Seasoned with tender loving care
Seized at the moment of fullness
The fruit of your labor
And the sweet taste of success
Comes to market
In the sharing of your pride and joy
As you recycle the wealth
Of your nature’s beauty and bounty.
