The noon meal is "Dinner" in the monastery. It is the main meal, taken when bodies and minds are in need of sustenance to equip them for the rest of the day's duties. This time the nuns sit to eat, which they do in silence. One of the Sisters reads aloud to all, from a holy book or article. Minds and bodies are thus nourished and refreshed. (I assume the men reading this will forgive my continued use of the words "sisters" and "nuns".... for being a woman, it is with such that I identify. However, the word "monk" can apply just as well). Again I hope the publishers of what I'm about to share might forgive my use of a rather substantial quote - for I am recommending this book. I now prepare to "stand before you" and read to you as you "dine." Before I do so, I need to mention that the Poor Clares referred to in this reading do not eat meat. I find the following selection particularly appropriate for a Refectory Reading, for this scene opens with exactly that: "Sometimes the reading is momentarily interrupted by an important announcement from Mother Abbess to the effect that 'the squash is for potatoes. The salad is the third portion.' After years of listening to these quaint flashes, I still relish them with secret mirth, and not least because of the judge-like gravity of countenance and tone with which Mother Abbess unfailingly makes them. A Poor Clare meal consists always of soup, vegetable, potato, fruit and the famous 'third portion.' That last is an ancient monastic term for the main dish of the meal.. "The nuns are very set in their monastic ways. If we have no potatoes, then some understudy must be summoned from the culinary wings to play their role. Thus, the pronouncement: 'Dear Sisters, the turnips are for potatoes.' Now, the turnips will most likely be accompanied by cabbage, and the mystery as to which of these two plebs is to rise to potato status is known only to cooks and abbesses... the implication is that a Poor Clare's digestion would be seriously impaired if she did not know whether cabbage is this day passing itself off as potatoes or preserving the integrity of its name... "'Dear Sisters, the carrots are for potatoes,' Mother Abbess would solemnly announce on Friday. On Saturday we heard: 'Dear Sisters, the carrot salad is the vegetable.' When all of us sat on the edge of our chairs on Monday, wondering what variations could possibly remain, Mother Abbess would declare sweetly and gravely: 'Dear Sisters, the carrots and turnips are mixed vegetables and potatoes.' Poor Clare abbesses are not easily worsted." (Mother Mary Francis PCC, A Right To Be Merry, Franciscan Herald Press, 1956 and 1973, pp. 25-126.

I drew it when I was expecting my daughter. In a way I wanted to keep this image tucked away safe as it is so personal and meaningful to me, but at the same time it is something that could give the world something. I wanted to create an image that reflected my love for my unborn child. I wanted to reflect at the same time how we are all daughters and sons of the same earth. In the background you will find my tree of life design (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/261532376/tree-of-life-design-yggdrasil-world-tree). It does not matter where you are in that tree, which branch... human or animal... we all originate from the same single seed. And earth is where our roots are. ______________________________________________________ Licensing https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Licensed under the Creative Commons attribution only license.

The Definitive Practitioner's Guide By Matthew Wood The first comprehensive herbal repertory, providing an invaluable cross-reference that takes the guesswork out of the application of medicinal plants, by an author with 35 years' experience treating tens of thousands of clients Expert herbalist Matthew Wood takes the guesswork out of the application of medicinal plants in this first comprehensive herbal repertory, which provides an invaluable cross-reference of constitutional types, energetic categories, and specific symptoms that leads the herbalist to a limited number of possible herbs for a specific condition. Unlike many references in which medicinal plants are defined simply by condition or disease name, this book provides a basic plan for analyzing each case in a holistic fashion. The energetic (hot, cold, damp, dry, tense, relaxed) or action (sedative, stimulant, alternative, nutritive, relaxant, astringent, etc.) is cross-referenced with the organic, system, or function where the problem resides and specific symptoms known to indicate that specific herb or class of herbs. Drawing on his 35 years' experience as a practicing herbalist who has treated tens of thousands of clients, Wood incorporates knowledge from ancient Greek and traditional Native American medicine, the traditions of nineteenth-century botanical medicine, homeopathy, and modern biomedical research. Designed to be used in combination with the practitioner's own knowledge of herbal remedies, disease conditions, organs, systems, pathology, and medicine, The Earthwise Herbal Repertory will benefit a wide variety of users relying on a wide variety of literature and personal experience. Suitable for both home and professional medicinal use, it will considerably broaden the ability of practitioners to plan the most effective course of finding and harnessing the full potential medicinal plants for healing a number of conditions. 6.01 "W x 8.98 "H x 1.24 "D | 448 pages | paperback
