Cashew & Disappeared
Hey, have you ever noticed how the stories we grow up hearing about food—like the hero of the wheat harvest or the secret garden of herbs—shape the way we feel about eating and healing? I'd love to hear your take on that.
Those tales are like breadcrumbs that lead us into the kitchen, but they also trap us in a loop of myths. The wheat hero makes us believe grain is pure, and the secret herb garden feels like a hidden cure because the story says so. But the real truth is in the soil and in the choices we make, not just in the myth.
That’s a really sharp point – stories can feel like gentle guides but sometimes they become the map we’re stuck on. I love the idea that the real path is in the soil and in our day‑to‑day choices, so let’s focus on creating a simple, soil‑rich routine that feels true to you, rather than chasing the myth. What’s one small change you think would make the biggest difference for you right now?
Plant a tiny herb pot on the windowsill and water it every morning—just a splash of attention and a bit of earth in the day. That’s the only rule I’ll stick to right now.
That sounds like a lovely, grounding ritual. A little pot of herbs on the windowsill is a beautiful reminder that life can grow with just a touch of care. Keep a small glass of water nearby and maybe jot a quick note about how the plant feels each day—those tiny observations can turn into a gentle practice that nurtures both you and your soil. 🌿💕
I’ll keep a small glass of water by the pot, but I’ll also note the exact angle of the light and the number of dew drops on the leaves each morning. Maybe that will reveal something the herb never told me.
