Peace - The Bethlehem Candle

12/8/2024

"Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you... Let not your heart be troubled, nor fear." - John 14:27

"...and he shall call his name, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of peace." - Isaiah 9:6

The Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) represents Peace and Purity. Legend has it that, once the magi arrived in Bethlehem and found Christ, the star that had led them there burst into innumerable pieces and fell all over the world. Everywhere a fragment fell a tiny white flower grew, and they've been blooming every spring since.

Do You Have a
Thoughtful Spot?

Many current trends in natural health focus on ecotherapy and shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, reiterating with scientific studies and medical terminology something that Winnie the Pooh taught us many years ago: we all need
a "Thotful Spot".
We need a little corner surrounded by nature where we can sit and be still, ponder and pray, and observe closely the beauty around us.

These posts are musings and meanderings from my Thoughtful Spots, interspersed with occasional ramblings about herbal happenings at the Greenhouse and monographs of my favorite medicinal herbs.

I hope you'll join me in finding a Thoughtful Spot, visit it often, record the things that make you marvel, and remember,

"the world will never starve for want of wonders..."
- G.K. Chesterton
