My all time favorite dude Mr. Rogers told us to look for the helpers. It was something his mother reminded him to do in times of crisis. I think they both probably meant people helpers, but I am going to just extend the invitation to look for helpers in the plant world. Thus is born a new monthly series: Our Ancestors want us to be [fill in plant of the month here]. In this series I will feature a plant and humanize its characteristics through Ancestral teachings on how we ought to be behaving as stewards of this planet. Also, it feels worth saying that I am not a doctor and I am in no way qualified to give nutritional advice.
This came at the perfect time for me. Thank you for writing this.
