Tomorrow, I will be doing something I have never done before.
Tomorrow, I will walk boldly into the daycare where I work - big, red muck bucket in one hand and a small bag of very special manure in the other.
What makes this manure special? It has lain cozy in a cow horn over the winter months to ferment and enter into a new relationship with the earth. The cow horn helps concentrate and direct the earth's energies into the cow manure giving it new capacities of caring for the land. http://www.biodynamics.in/BD500.htm
What an amazing activity for young ones to participate in.
Together, we will stir a small amount of manure in 10 gallons of water - making vortex after vortex - until the water is alive with the energies imparted to the manure over its time in the earth.
After snack, we will go for a big long walk around the school. Each child will carry a tiny metal bucket and some kind of coniferous branch with which to spray their special medicine, letting the gnomes and other creatures know we care for them, and helping them in their work of digging paths for the roots of the many plants which grow on our land.
I feel so blessed to be able to explore this mysterious activity with these little ones. I know that their wonderful will to dive head first into life will be a welcome companion in tomorrow's adventures. I thank the wonderful designer of life for the gift of young people and all their various and sundry stages of life, each with its own intriguing qualities and gifts.
And I thank you, dear reader for your interest in this sweet little story.
