I began writing and then deleted this post at least 6 times. I felt as if all my words are inadequate to describe the beauty of this wild artichoke. I felt incompetent to put my feelings, thoughts and insights in a text. The more I looked at it, the more I saw. Not only shapes and patterns and designs, but also sacredness, wisdom, romance, wonder, flow, meaning, soul, trust, simplicity, greatness... What should I speak about first? 

I guess that’s why they are called artichokes ~ because they choke us up with their art :)

Nature is the greatest mirror of ourselves. Feeding us not only with food but also with insights, deeper understanding and strong emotions, it enlightens the path that will get us closer to our true selves, our true inner nature. Working alone and with people out in the lands I witnessed true miracles and great transformations taking place because of this reunion of human nature with the Earth's wild nature.

So, here are my questions to you: What do you see when looking at the art of this artichoke? What is it whispering to you? What you see or hear might be important messages to you, me and the world. Share them below.
