Good morning if
you're watching this on Morning
blessings.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Oh, yes, morning.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I hate the word
morning.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Rumble X, facebook or
YouTube.
Thanks for joining us I'm pattywith patty talks too much, and
I'm here with my dear friends,uh, enoki and taylor and of
course you can tell we'vealready gotten into it um,
because taylor and I have allkinds of ideas about what enoki
could do and, okay, he is like,yeah, I don't think so.
(00:44):
So, but we're gonna just.
We're just so, if you'rejoining us live.
Thank you so much for joiningus and we're just gonna throw
you in to the mix.
We were already talking aboutTaylor we're on the road today.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, oh, okay okay.
Taylor, you don't like the wordmorning.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You don't like the
word morning so okay.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So patty back me up
on this.
Why do we say good morning?
What are we mourning the momentthat we open our eyes?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
like.
What are we?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
morning.
Yeah, why are we mourning thesecond that we wake up now?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
is it so different?
Doesn't want another, yes, yes,but it's just it's it, but it's
the wording right, I don't know.
It's one of my favorite,because every morning, when I
was a kid, my mom would comeinto my room and she would be
like enoki, good morning.
I love it, my mom too, and shewould wake me up and it would be
(01:42):
like that.
It was like the most.
So I hear the word morning andeven it's like morning, you know
I'm like good morning in myhead, you know, but I thought
like it was spelled different.
You know, I don't know wordsthat are spelled different.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I I feel like you
know, the thing that that taylor
says is like okay, so it'sspelled different, right, but it
sounds exactly the same.
So it registers with ourinternal being and external
being and with the universe andso forth as the same word, and
so basically, what it does is um, what?
(02:18):
What um taylor posits is that,and many people do is that it
sends a mixed message to thebeginning of our day one of them
is is the death of somethingand the other one is the birth
of something exactly it'sinverted.
Yeah, it's inverted.
Yeah, yeah, that's why somepeople say grand rising.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, people right,
because the new day is rising,
but morning sounds depressingyou getting your caffeine girl?
Well, I had to.
We were missing a med.
So on the way out leaving town,I've got to stop at the
pharmacy.
I've got to get phoenix'smedicines, and so I'm just doing
all of the things.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So we're.
We're running around gettingcaffeine.
We're running around with youthis morning, we are.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
There's this theme
park that is nature-based.
It has these coasters that aresit-in coasters that are just
you're just on a railway, and anindividual coaster.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Ooh I like that.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It has these tree
lines where you're 60, I guess,
yeah, yeah, it's called, orAnakeesha I so excited are you?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
are you going?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
to be ziplining today
.
If I get the opportunity to goziplining, you had better
believe I'm going to beziplining for the record.
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I will be dragging
the kids with me I do the
mountain coaster, so you havethe little breaks, you can slow
yourself down or even like stopin most of the mountain coasters
.
I would do that and I would dozip lines.
I don't do roller coasters atall.
I think it's one of my threemain fears of my entire life.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, I don't do
roller coasters either, anoki.
No, thank you.
I mean, why pay for anear-death experience?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I never really
understood that the first time I
was on a roller coaster I waslike eight years old.
It was ridiculous.
Bay mountain was one of thefirst roller coasters that I
ever saw in person.
I went to go up to the linelike my whole family.
Like there was like eight thatwere getting in the line and
like eight that were staying off, you know, and I was going to
(04:33):
go with the ones to get in theline.
But I got up there and I andI'm like turned around and like
I didn't even know anythingabout the ride.
Then you know, like like I waslike no, and so then I stayed
with the people that weren'triding the roller coaster it's
like my grandma and like youknow, two other people that just
(04:54):
didn't want to wait in the line.
Maybe in a past life I was on atrain that like lost its brakes
or something.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, I don't know,
it's possible.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It was a fear before
I knew what fear was.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
yeah, yeah, I had
those, um, those fears at a very
, very young age and fears thatlike startled my mother.
Her understanding is that I hada fear of large trucks, you
know, like those big mac.
You know those big mac trucks.
And the reason why she saidthat is because I was very, very
young I was probably two yearsold and I was holding her hand
(05:32):
and we were walking in, we weregoing to go into a grocery store
and one of those big truckskind of pulled into the parking
lot and was going into the backto make a delivery and I started
screaming and I laid on thepavement and started screaming
and she didn't.
First of all, she didn'tunderstand what I was afraid of
(05:54):
and she connected it to thetruck.
But I, honestly, after I thoughtabout it years later, I think
it was the vibration of thetruck, that there was something
about the vibration of the earth.
And I also, when I was very,very young, I was deathly afraid
of thunder that vibrated thehouse and I was afraid of
(06:16):
fireworks.
That also I couldn't.
I never, you know, and it tookme a long time to actually be
comfortable with fireworks.
I, you know, and it took me along time to actually be
comfortable with fireworks.
So there was something aboutexplosions and vibrations and
the vibration of the earth thatbrought up something, and I was
just a small child.
So what was that about?
And I've always thought, well,that must have been some trauma
(06:36):
that I brought over from, youknow, from another lifetime
experience you know that I justI don't know, know what it was,
but it had something to do withloud noises and the earth moving
.
It could have been like anearthquake, it could have been a
volcano, you know what I meanit could have been.
It could have been a warsituation, you know, it could
have been any of those things.
(06:57):
But, um, you know listen.
So I wanted to share a storythis morning that has to do with
I.
I hear your rooster out there.
How cool is that.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
He's not close.
Hopefully Tanya will be able tojoin us when she is.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I got the impression
that the signal wasn't very
strong, like she got pixelated.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It says she's still a
participant.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah,
because it's like a little it
might.
The signal might not be so good, but anyway, I wanted to share
a story that has to do with theevents of this week and, as you
guys know, there were thingslast week even the last time we
talked back in back on onSaturday that I was kind of
nervous about because the schoolyear was ending and I didn't
(07:42):
have a job yet, about becausethe school year was ending and I
didn't have a job yet.
So I wanted to just kind ofshare a story with you that has
to do with the power of prayerand synchronicities, and you
guys might be able to add someother perspective to it.
So when so it goes?
The story begins a long time agoactually, but when I moved to
(08:08):
Georgia I had family here and,of course, enoki, I have you
here, and Taylor's just a fewhours away.
So it was lovely to kind of beso much closer to the people
that I know and love.
So I moved to North Georgia andwhen I arrived there was a card
on the counter of my cousin Iwas staying with my cousin and
(08:31):
the card was from my AuntCharlene Now Aunt Charlene I had
not seen since I was a childand it was like this lovely card
welcoming me to Georgia andtalking about how wonderful it
was for me to be in Georgia andhow much she was looking forward
to seeing me and spending timewith me.
And I thought and I was just alittle, because I can be kind of
(08:52):
prickly right I'm like Ihaven't seen this woman since I
was a child.
This, this seems a little gushy, like she seemed like you know,
like well she's, she's gushingover me, but I haven't seen her
in decades and decades.
What's this about?
yeah so then I got to spend timewith her.
Um, she came to the house, shevisited, because she lives in
(09:14):
macon, so she lives a few hoursaway, so, but she came and she
visited and she told me a storyand, um, she said, when we had
visited your home when you werejust small and she and my uncle
had been sitting at havingdinner with my family, and
(09:36):
something disturbing happened,where my father, who was
generally he was a prettytroubled man and he was, his
behavior was erratic and younever really knew what was going
to happen, uh, with my father.
We lived on pins and needleswith him, um, because he could
be violent at times.
Anyway, he was in some kind ofstate and he sent me to my room
(10:02):
without dinner.
We were all at the dinner table, we had just sat down and for
some reason he sent me to myroom without dinner.
And she describes it as I justsat there and I was like, but
what did I say?
What did I do?
And he was just go to your room, go to your room, right, and
she was going to speak up atthat time, but she didn't.
(10:23):
She was going to speak up atthat time, but she didn't.
Um, and she says since thattime she's felt like she failed
me.
Oh, that she failed me.
It is emotional.
I was crying and she wastelling me, and validation?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
you didn't know you
needed taylor I didn't even
remember this story.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So she's standing
there telling me this story and
I I'm kind of crying a littlebit because I have no idea that
this even happened and I had noidea that for all these decades.
She felt like she had failed,so she thought of me coming to
Georgia as an opportunity tomake it up.
(11:03):
All right, fast forward, fastforward to just a week or so ago
, when I get a call from her andshe said I've been thinking
about you, you keep coming intomy mind, and whenever that
happens and of course she's verydevout, so she says, whenever
the Lord brings someone into mymind, I feel like I need to
(11:24):
reach out.
There's a reason.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
There's a reason why
so I want to touch on something
when you're done with this.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, absolutely, I
hope you do so.
I called her after a few days,because at first I didn't even
know that she had called me andI listened to the message, and
so I called her and she saidlisten, you've been on my mind
you keep coming into my mind andI feel like there's something
that I want that I need to prayfor.
(11:50):
There's something that I needto pray for Now.
Backstory my cousins, you know,have said I don't know what it
is about Charlene, but she seemsto have a direct line.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
She's got the touch
and I was like really All right
line.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
She's got the touch
and I was like, really all right
.
So she said so, and she hadalso told me that in my old age,
patty, I've asked what's mypurpose, what do I need to do?
And all I get from from youknow, from the creator, is just
pray for people.
That's your purpose, is justpray.
And so she takes that seriously, right?
So anyway, she's calling me,saying I, I feel like there's
something I need to pray for foryou, for and I and I didn't
(12:30):
mention the arthritis, but Imentioned the job.
I said, well, you know, it'sthe end of the school year and I
haven't really heard fromanyone, and I've applied to all
these jobs, but I haven't heardanything.
And so I'm getting a littlenervous because I really want to
know where I'm going to be inAugust.
And she said good, I'm gladyou've told me, because now I
know exactly what to pray for.
(12:52):
And so I thanked her and it waslovely, and we hung up and you
got the job that was on Saturday, so this was you got hired on
the spot.
This was on Saturday, so it wasafter our podcast.
Right, it was after our podcast, and so that was later in the
day.
I called her and we had thisconversation on Tuesday and
(13:14):
Monday was a holiday, so therewas no work on Monday, so
Tuesday I go in.
I'm sitting in a meeting andone of my colleagues came up to
me and said listen, gainesvilleHigh is looking for two English
teachers.
So I'm going to tell them thatyou're looking.
And I said, well, yeah, Iapplied to Gainesville High.
(13:36):
So when she let them know myname, the woman said we've been
trying to reach her, we can't.
We haven't been able to reachher.
We've been trying to reach her,we can't, we haven't been able
to reach her.
We've been trying to reach herfor two months it turns out.
Remember, I changed my number, Ichanged my oh my god, the
service and I had updated I hadupdated all my numbers, but
apparently when a school gets anapplication they must print it
(13:58):
out and they're still working onthe old number.
They never go back to thecomputer to see if it's updated.
So all this time these peoplewere okay.
So anyway there's a flurry ofcalls because I'm like so
there's a flurry of calls.
They end up calling me on theright number.
Two people end up calling mefrom the school and they're like
well, we really want to talk toyou.
(14:19):
And I said, well, okay, youknow, I mean today's the last
day of school, so I'm flexible.
I'm flexible after today.
They called me back in theafternoon.
They said how about Friday at10?
I said I'm there, it's perfect,of course.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And so I went.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Now, in the meantime,
my principal.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
She fixed her
conundrum in her prayers.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
My principal is
calling me into the office.
Wait, no, it gets better.
My principal is calling me intothe office and he said, you
know, says I know, we've onlyhad a halftime job to offer you
and I know that that's notenough.
I know you want full time, butwe're working on it and we think
we might have a full time jobfor you.
So please don't make anycommitments to someone else
until until we can figure thisout.
(14:59):
And so I said, oh, okay, and Iagreed because out of respect
for him and respect for the teamand respect for the people that
I've worked with, becausethey've all been so lovely, and
so I go into this interview onFriday and it's lovely.
I'm there with three people andthey've got a whole list of
questions and everything.
And at first I was a littlenervous but it was okay.
(15:21):
We had a lovely conversationright.
And they said, okay, this isgoing to be a quick turnaround.
We've got a couple of otherpeople we need to interview, but
we'll definitely, we'll callyou, we'll contact you on Monday
.
And I said, well, no worries,because my principal had asked
me not to make a commitment.
And I told him why and I said,and I kind of agreed out of
(15:50):
respect for him, you, becausethey've been loved, so lovely to
work, work with and um, andthen they were like, wow, that
really says a lot about you, youknow.
I said, you know, I just feltlike, and it's true, you know,
these were very good people towork for.
They just didn't have theposition and so, at any rate, I
left to.
I go to the gym.
Two hours later I'm home.
I get a call and they said well, we've decided that we want to
offer you the job.
(16:10):
And I said well, I'm going tobe honest with you.
I know that my principal isreally scrambling to find
something for me, but what Iheard in my interview this
morning sounds like it might bea better fit for me than what
they might offer me at mycurrent school.
So I would love to be part ofyour team because the interview
(16:34):
was awesome and I think yourschool is awesome and I would
love to be part when you firstcame to Georgia.
I know, I know you were likeGainesville High, gainesville
high she was.
Yeah, I've been, I've beenthinking about you the whole
time and don't give me wow firstone to mention gainesville,
(16:57):
high to me, way back this soundslike abundance.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Alchemy meets fate
yeah, man yeah wow so I can't
believe that they had the wrongnumber and she didn't call like,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, they kept
calling that makes so much sense
because Patty's like I'm notgetting any responses.
And then Abundance happens andeverything Happens at once.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's hysterical and
so I still have to call my Aunt
charlene.
I was going to call her todayand I was going to tell her the
story and thank her for her, forher prayers, because this is,
like you know, okay.
So I don't know how much ofthis has to do with my aunt
charlene's gift of prayer, and Ishared this story with my and
(17:45):
she was so, she was so moved and, of course, my mom's been
praying too, and I do believe inthe power of prayer.
I'm not really good at prayer.
I do prayer, but I'm notsomebody who's as good.
Watch your words.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Because, all right,
you pray without words.
That's true, we pray indifferent ways, and so not
everybody prays like a sermon.
Yeah Right, not everybody hasthe power of prayer through
tongue, but my heart speaks tothe Most High, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I would agree with
you too.
I think that's what I do, andsometimes you know.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Your walks, those
feet.
We've talked about this.
Walking meditations for peoplewho can't sit still and can't
seem to meditate.
Walking meditations through theearth.
Pat's pointing at himselfthat's me.
I can't meditate.
But when you can walk in nature, walk a trail, just walk
straight ahead.
You're watching, walk straightahead, you're watching your feet
(18:45):
, you're watching the trees.
That is a clearing right.
You're earthing, you'regrounding, you're connected and
you're meditating.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's a meditation,
that's a prayer it is.
It's when you're full ofgratitude.
It's called dirt church.
Damn it, yeah.
Dirt church I mean also, youknow, when you're able to kind
of do that and have your heartfull of gratitude for all the
blessings in your life that'sabundance, alchemy, yeah, yeah,
it's alchemical.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's alchemical the
way that gratitude can change
everything happening.
I stopped so last night at work, right, simone, she, my, my, my
sweet mama, simone, god, I lovethis woman Y'all.
I told her we're going to bringon the podcast.
It's going to be the mostexciting podcast we ever had.
I hope we do, yeah.
(19:34):
So anyways, last night Simoneloses a hundred dollars, $70,
check and cash Cash is I lostthe money, I'm never going to
find it.
I grabbed her by both shoulders.
I said, simone, stop it rightnow, because what I reached up,
because what we're not going todo is we're not going to speak
(19:56):
that into existence, we're goingto go find your money.
Somebody go get me gloves.
And I dug through that trashcan and, right as she was like I
, I give up I found that money.
I found that money wadded up inthat trash can and we just both
were elated.
But I said, you see, that's aperfect lesson and what we speak
(20:18):
comes to fruition.
But what it wanted I wanted totouch on, as you talked about
the power of prayer was I havewatched this podcast about the
Katy Perry effect and I don'tknow if you all are familiar
with this, but essentially whathappens is people get in really
spiritual and really intospirituality, right, and then
(20:40):
they're and something gets so,they get so intensely shaken
that they immediately go toChristianity and the need to be
saved by Jesus Christ.
They're like these rebornChristians and I'm seeing it a
lot in these new agespiritualists, spiritualists,
(21:11):
and there's woman was sayingthat like those are dark nights
of the soul, like when you'redeep, when you're really deep in
your path, it's like it gets soscary that you don't want to
give yourself that power and sowe want to give it away.
Like that's too much power in me.
I'm scared of this power, or orthis dark night of the soul.
(21:35):
Whatever brought this on, itwas too much, it was too intense
, and so they turn around andgive it to jesus christ or or
what have you.
But what it's, what what itreally is, is this dark night of
the soul, and this is this fearof, of self-power.
So when I hear and I'm nooffense to your aunt of your,
(21:58):
your cousin or what have you, um, but it sounds like she's a
very powerful woman, she's alittle powerhouse I feel like
it's her wishing, with like,with like, all of her heart,
something good, yeah, yeah she'spowerful, everything here and
she can give all the glory togod.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
But like she's
powerful, yeah, yeah, I, and I
think she's you know, she's soheart-centered, she's always
been so heart centered.
I mean for her to haveremembered that and to have felt
like she had failed me as achild I was eight years old,
that and so that was somethingthat she so welcomed that I
(22:49):
would be close to her, um, atthis point in my life so that
she could somehow make up forthat.
So, yeah, I think that thatspeaks volumes about her and I
would agree with you, I thinkthat praying in including the
power of um, of jesus, I'm alsoa big fan of, you know, the
mary's, you know mary and marymagdalene, like I think those
(23:13):
were also powerful, powerfulwomen, and absolutely I will.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I will speak to them
as well, and even you know the
old I mean Patty.
You and I have talked aboutthis.
There's a reason why you knowthe government, the powers that
be name.
You know terrorist cells,things like ISIS.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Right right, these
names are evoked in a way that
has this negative connotation,but these are powerful, powerful
names being spoken.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's interesting
because like what kind of power?
I don't know, because I stillI'm still in my own little
personal journey about who theseold gods were.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Doesn't God say in
the Bible that you will worship
no other gods?
Is that not a line in thecorrect or wrong audience?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's something that
was.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
There's an admittance
to their being more than one
Right, right or different levelsof god team was a whole.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They were a whole
group.
Some of them, you know, landedin different parts of of the
world and did what they did indifferent parts of the world,
but they were very, verypowerful advanced beings, and um
and yahweh was was one of them,and so he claimed.
You know, so he was.
(24:51):
You know, he was considered ajealous god, and now I think
that the creator of the universeis not a jealous creator.
There's nothing to be jealousof.
So how?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
can you be a jealous
god in a world and a universe
that is infinite?
You created, you created.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, doesn't resonate with me,
right?
And you know I've had thatproblem since I was very young I
think that every room, everysingle religion is a way to god.
(25:22):
I I mean, there are ways to Godthrough, you know, not
believing in God.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
We're all free to
worship as we choose.
That's, you know, that shouldbe a right.
That's and it should be.
It's apparently a right in ourcountry.
It's not necessarily a right inall countries, but, um, we
should be free to um worship asas we choose, and so, but yeah,
(25:50):
I'm, look, you know I'm a andI've said this for forever I'm a
.
I'm a big fan of jesus.
I think he was one of the mostpowerful healers and teachers
that walked the earth, and kindof a multi-dimensional being who
could tap into some very, verystrong powers.
Now, interestingly enough, whenGod definitely speaks right,
(26:16):
but the creator.
he was not a fan, a fan ofYahweh, and it was the Pharisees
who wanted to put him to deathbecause he was like, yeah, I'm
not.
You know, he wasn't.
When he said my father inheaven, he wasn't talking about
Yahweh, and I think that that'sone of the most controversial
things that we're going to haveto face in the coming years and
decades is that wait a minute,we need to extricate the New
(26:39):
Testament from the Old Testament.
They should never have been puttogether.
You know, jesus was not aboutYahweh, he was about the
creation of the universe.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
How do you edit a
Bible Like?
That's wild to me.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh, it's been so
edited and changed.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, and as I always
talk about the amnesia of
humanity, well, of course, ourbooks are being burned every so
many, you know hundred years.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's kind of almost
like a reset every history is
being erased and you know what Ithis reminds me of something
else that I wanted to touch onbecause it keeps coming up.
I don't know if you guys havebeen seeing this as well, but
the whole idea of a 13 monthyear I don't know if you guys
have been seeing these, but likethey keep coming up because
they keep finding books from the1700s and Bibles from the 1700s
(27:30):
that establish a 13 month year28 days to go along with the
moon cycles.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
They did that to fuck
us up, I swear.
Women are already on a 13 monthcalendar.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
We are and think
about how much it's thrown that
off.
So it was, and one day to restand that was Easter.
So one day out of the year itwould be a day that wasn't part
of the actual calendar.
It was the one day to rest andthat was Easter.
So April is the first month ofthe year.
March would be the last monthof the year and if you think
(28:07):
about it like September, Sep.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Like, if you look at
it, sep that's seven, oct that's
eight, no, that's nine, decethat's 10.
So January is supposed to bethe 11th month.
So, January is supposed to bethe 11th month, february is the
12th month, march is the 13thmonth, and then April, and it
makes sense.
It's spring, it's newbeginnings, it's when life is
(28:37):
reborn.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
All of that is so
aligned.
What is the name of thecalendar that we run on, Patty?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Is it called?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
the.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Gregorian, it's
called the gregorian calendar,
yeah gregorian calendar, so I Iactually think that, as we move
forward and there's moredisclosure and more awakening um
, because I do I I know that wehad a really hard conversation
last week about you know howhopeless things on earth seem,
(29:07):
but I, I remain hopeful that wewill kind of be able to walk
through some dark times and thenthink about how small of a
light it takes, yeah, tobrighten a dark room.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
so the other night,
anoki, I thought of you because
what was the theme this week?
The the theme this week waslike, what was was a candle.
We lost you and you had to go,but it was the flame.
That was the card we pulled andI wish you could have heard it
because it was speaking to youand you have always been such a
(29:43):
bright, bright light in ourcircle.
I mean, just being in yourpresence is such an energetic
it's almost like a high to bewith Enoki, like to get on
Enoki's level.
Think about seeing a fireflyfor the first time in spring,
after it's been cold, and it'slike that little tiny light
gives such joy.
But that's what we are whenwe're out here, loving and
(30:08):
living in love and livingthrough our heart space and
loving Mother Earth, we're thoselittle fireflies.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, yeah, and I
think that it doesn't mean that
we don't have our dark times orour times when we feel despair
Absolutely not I mean, look atthe world, and so you can be
that little firefly.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But even fireflies
have their moments, hey enoki
yeah, maybe one day we could dowhen we do the quality time, we
could run your property.
If there's like plants that youhave on the land that are
(30:55):
medicinal, we could discuss them.
Let me see which you gotgrowing.
You have sassafras there.
Does sassafras grow down there?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
They're not that far
south.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
It's a tree.
It's a tree and it's a reallyinteresting tree, yonoki,
because there are four differentkinds of leaves.
One's like a mitten like this,a mitten like this and then one
of them is like a whole and thenone of them is like a whole
hand, one of them is like thespot.
Sorry, I can't get my hands inthe right direction.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
I've got tulip poplar
which is like in the rainbow.
You go with this family.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Man that tree gives
me fairy.
Tulip poplars are one of myfavorite trees.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I didn't even know
that a tulip tree was a real
tree until I moved here, but Iwas born.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Aren't they gorgeous?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Tulip tree lanes.
They're beautiful.
Yeah, I've got tons of themhere, and then I've got a couple
pines up on the hill, but whenI picked it out, I was looking
for something that didn't have aa couple pines up on the hill,
but when I picked it out, I waslooking for something that
didn't have a lot of pines, areyou?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
familiar with tree
spirits, like what the birch
signifies and, like you know,like the willow signifies
specific things I heard some ofthem.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I know that all trees
have a meaning or whatever um
yeah, but but no.
I don't know them all.
I don't know which ones meanwhat.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Have you done any
research on that?
Because you know magnolias arethe oldest tree.
Like that was the first everflower that existed on planet
Earth.
Like with dinosaurs, yeah, itwas the first flower.
And Chinese culture the magnet.
(32:52):
The Magnolia symbol symbolizespurity and nobility.
Here it symbolizes luck andstability and folk medicine.
They are used to treat anxiety,depression, fever and headaches
.
It is a female energy and isoften given to honor a strong
woman.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
It's also I think in
Japan the magnolia flower is
part of the ceremony because itrepresents eternal connection,
eternal love.
Inoki was talking about beingcalled by the tree in her yard,
that ancient magnolia tree, andit reminded me of how much I
(33:34):
felt called by the mango treethat was by my cafe, you know
and how that was part of mydecision you know, I was
speaking to uh, one of mydishwashers the other day.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
He said you know, you
know I had to go drive to my
tree and Say a prayer and Ithought how strange.
But my cousin has been seeingthe same little like ficus tree,
like it's not, it's just thislittle guy, you know, in this
(34:05):
church parking lot and it's thesame as all the other trees.
But she just chose this onetree, right, and for years she's
been.
She'll just go drive to thetree.
I'm gonna go drive to my tree.
I gotta go.
You know, that's our prayermaybe the tree, maybe the tree
chose her right, but she hadn'tbeen for a long time and you
know she's left so manyofferings there.
(34:25):
She went, you know, since itwas spring, and it was just
absolutely huge compared to theother ones that had grown
immensely in comparison to thetrees around it, and I was just
like look at that I think thatin the coming years we're going
to find out so much about thesentience of plants.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
You can walk up to a
tree and stand under it and say
hello, tree, I love you.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Touch me if you hear
me.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
And the tree will
actually start to come over
towards you.
I've seen that.
I've done it Because when I sawit I was like what.
I went out and loved on sometrees.
I had to do some clearing forthe shed cabin that we're
(35:14):
getting and I just apologizedfor every tree, and I've been
like hugging all the treesaround it.
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
You just reminded me
of this woman that I've been
co-teaching with.
She and her husband had built ahouse and they had gotten this
property and they had to cleartrees.
And she felt so bad aboutclearing the trees on this
property that she said we'regoing to use every one of these
trees in our house.
(35:44):
It's going to be part of ourhouse.
So all of her floors, all ofthe baseboards, the door,
everything was made that's madefrom wood in that house is made
from those trees that had tocome down on the property and
she said it was just sobeautiful, but it was a way for
(36:04):
her to honor the their sacrifice.
Yeah, so I thought wow, thatwas really beautiful I mean even
using them for firewood.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Enoki, you're still
that's.
You know, that's what we'redoing?
Speaker 3 (36:18):
we're gonna use them
for the firewood, you know, but
um, but what's it called?
Um?
When I started taking them out,I noticed that they're tulip
poplars, and tulip poplars havebig, stretchy, long branches,
and all of these trees weregrowing so close together that
(36:40):
they weren't able to develop anybranches.
They were all just straight upin a pole, you know, with no
lower limbs, no thicker limbs,and they were suffocating each
other, you know, and they neededthat tending to to clear them
up to make room for, for fortheir branches and their space.
(37:04):
You know, and so I felt, likeyou know, as sad as it is to
clear the ones from a certainspot by thinning them all a
little bit, because it's so, sothick.
By thinning them all a littlebit, they're actually giving
room for yes, for the sunlightthem to grow yeah, and, and, and
(37:26):
, and.
In doing that I found likethree beautiful little baby oats
and like four gorgeous littlemaples that were also growing
just yeah, they were growing.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You know um and all
your little medicinals that are
going to pop up, now that thesun is touching the earth, in
those places around the whereyou, where you put the house
your, your story reminds me of,you know, my walks in the woods,
right?
Speaker 1 (37:53):
so I walk through on
this nature path and sometimes
I've been a little distressedbecause I've noticed that these
trees have fallen down and theyseem like perfectly good trees
but they fell and for whateverreason the wind or the rains or
whatever but they fell.
And what happens is and it wasso obvious, as spring came and
everything started, all thetrees started filling out.
(38:14):
I noticed that there were thesebig openings now where the sun
was coming in, and now thesetrees that, uh, were probably
overshadowed by this tree thatwas just enormous and taking up
so much sunlight now has freedup all of this, this space and
the sunlight for these othertrees to grow.
(38:34):
And I thought, well, you know,maybe you know, trees sometimes
sacrifice themselves for thewhole community you know elders
making room for the yearlings.
You know the elders making roomfor the, for the yearlings, and
I wouldn't be surprised by that.
I think that makes um perfectsense.
But um, just to add to that, um, just, you just reminded me
(38:55):
that when I go into the woodsthere's a log that I like to sit
on and I just kind of sit and,you know, meditate and take in
the forest, for, you know, for awhile before I return home, and
right next to me on the log isa little baby oak, and so it's
really only two or three feettall.
(39:16):
And you know, and I talk to itwhen I'm sitting there and I
compliment it on its new growth,I'm like, oh, you have some new
leaves this week, how beautiful.
And so we have this littlefriendship, me and this little
Oak next to this place that Isit in the forest and I'm always
complimenting.
You know how much it's grownsince the last time I've seen it
(39:38):
, and it's I see it every week,but you know it's springtime and
they're, and there's been rainand there's been sunshine, so
you know the little trees aregrowing pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
You should continue
your relationship with that baby
oak.
Yeah, I will Build that bond,build that friendship up.
Yeah, I think so.
This has brought me to thinkabout, uh, a book that pat and I
both absolutely adored.
Um highly recommend the read ofthe book called the hidden life
(40:11):
of trees.
It was about an ex-forester,essentially um and germany potty
I'm pretty sure that's where,that's the area either way.
He was in one of the oldestforests in europe and at one
point he went to go cut down thetree and he realized that this
(40:32):
tree oh, it makes me emotionalyeah, this tree was being held
up by this community, inoki, andall of a sudden it was like his
eyes opened and he could seethis, this interaction between
every tree in the forest and themother tree, and how they were
all interconnected and feedingeach other.
(40:54):
And then he understood themycelium under the ground and
the worldwide web of of you knowthe mushrooms, and the, the
worldwide web of of you know themushrooms.
And anyways, the book discussesa lot about how trees
communicate and how theycommunicate with each other, and
it's absolutely fascinatingread.
Um, that's a beautiful bookchanged this man's life.
(41:16):
So he turned.
He went from a forester to, uh,arborist.
Essentially, yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
It's a beautiful book
.
It's called the Hidden Life ofTrees.
I forget the gentleman's name.
It's a beautiful book, so wehighly recommend it.
We're going to pull a cardtoday.
Yeah, in next week, enoki, ifyou want, if you have any
weather, to any weather reportfor us.
(41:45):
We can start that next week,just so people know.
At the very beginning we werejoking about how Enoki is very
attuned to what's happening withthe weather all around the
world.
And it's not just so much.
Oh, it's raining here, it'sflooding there.
So much, oh, it's raining here,it's flooding there.
But um, just relating to weather, like it's a form of
(42:06):
consciousness um, in in ourworld, and and so just a
different perspective on weatheraltogether and how much it's
changing and how dramatically,um, in many ways that it's
changing.
And so, um, we thought how coolwould it be for a nokia to do a
little weather report from herperspective as part of our
podcast we understand collectiveconsciousness is definitely a
(42:27):
thing, right, because look atthe power of prayer, right.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
But it brings me to
that belief system about the
snowflakes that we talked abouta few weeks ago, yeah, where we
don't believe that our weatheris a reflection of the
consciousness on our planet as awhole.
Well, whatever, enoki wants todo.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
I'm sure it would be
interesting so I look forward to
that.
No pressure um.
Can you tell us what deckyou're pulling from today?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
okay, we're gonna
pull from the animal spirit
guidebook today.
Okay, I'm, I'm going deep, deep, deep into the mountains.
I don't know if I told you allthis, but I saw a bear for the
first time I think I did.
But where we're going in themountains, I have a feeling that
we're going to see a lot ofwildlife.
So I figured we'd pull from theanimal spirit deck today.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Good, good, good.
What is it?
Hold it.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
I know what is it.
Hold it.
I know I'm trying to figure outthe camera, wow, I don't think
I've ever pulled that card fromthis deck.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Wow, so let's.
Let's hear it.
I don't know anything aboutzebra medicine I don't either.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Um, that's cool, it's
I would.
Uniqueness, connectedness, yeah, and also uniqueness, because
they're like fingerprints, right, no two zebras' stripes are the
same.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
So zebra, okay, zebra
, let's hear it.
Zebra is eccentric, creativeand visionary.
Zebras are the most precious ofgems.
They are young at heart, wellcultured and have an undying
curiosity about life.
I think zebras are sagittarians.
(44:13):
Being in the company of a zebrapersonality not only is a
delight, but also they open ourminds.
Not only is a delight, but alsothey open our minds.
Be prepared, their potent magicis contagious and you may soon
find yourself in a faraway land,expanding your worldview.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
I think we might have
just lost taylor.
Hey, taylor, if you can hear me, we just lost your audio and
you're frozen on the screen.
Oh yeah, looks like we lost it.
But basically what Taylor wastalking about was zebra.
(45:06):
Medicine is all about beingabsolutely unique, even
eccentric and creative, andthere's something that is
absolutely delightful aboutbeing such curious creatures and
I think that that'sinspirational.
Because I think that, andperhaps inspirational as we move
forward into June, because Ithink June is going to be a
month full of all kinds ofdisclosure, all kinds of oh my
goodness, really, that's true.
(45:28):
And you know, maybe all kinds ofinformation that it's a little
challenging to wrap our mindsaround.
But if we can go deeper and,you know, be more open to our
own inner curiosity about ourworld and about our reality,
then we can handle all of thenewness that might be coming
(45:50):
toward us.
Especially in the month of JuneI think it's the Gemini month
there's all kinds of thingshappening with our government
and with institutions and withorganizations and all kinds of
exposure and disclosure and youknow it might be kind of chaotic
this month but there might be alot of gobsmacking things that
come our direction.
(46:11):
So maybe zebra medicine canhelp us ease through that and
keep our minds open to all kindsof new ideas and new
perspectives and things maybe wejust hadn't thought of before
about how our reality is puttogether.
(46:35):
So I encourage people,encourage people to consider
zebra medicine as we moveforward into the month of June
and embrace your creativity andyour uniqueness and even your
eccentricity.
To embrace that it's okay Be alittle weird or allow yourself
(46:59):
to consider very weird things.
So go deep in your curiosityand your uniqueness, be open to
that.
I think that our world isneeding us to be that as we move
forward, to be that as we moveforward.
(47:21):
So, on behalf of Anoki andTaylor and myself, thank you so
much for joining us in our wildride of a live stream this
morning.
We do this every Saturdaymorning.
We get together three friendswho met years ago in a quirky
(47:43):
little cafe in South Florida andwe stay connected through these
kinds of conversations everyweek, sharing our perspective on
what's going on in our lives,what's going on in the world and
how to navigate it all withopen hearts and open spirits.
(48:03):
And that's pretty much what wedo every week.
So if you found any value inour conversation this week, we
are grateful for that, but joinus again next week when we do
this all again, and we hope thatyou all have a beautiful week,
take care.
