Grandmother tree. ⁣
This spot is one of my favorite places in Aruba. This tree. It’s ancient. Her roots span a massive area - you don’t know where she begins or ends. You think you’ve found the last root and suddenly a massive one comes shooting out of the ground, arching its way several feet up in the air. This is a tree to come home to. To camp under. To meditate by. I won’t tell you where she is because if you know, you know and that’s enough. But I was thinking about her today, and how we don’t know where she begins and where she ends. Probably because she doesn’t have a beginning. Or an end. Just like us. The earth she rises from is the same earth I put my bare feet in when I water our plants every morning. It’s the same earth we buried Pepper in. It’s the same earth you have beneath your feet in this very moment. ⁣

I’ve been writing about death a lot these past few days (weeks) (months) (years) and I think there is beauty to that: no real end. No real beginning. Where we end, when we die, something else sprouts anew. We become one with the earth and in our place, birth happens. New seeds are planted. Energy can never be lost... Only transformed. ⁣

For me, what followed intense pain and suffering from loss, was actual birth. The pain brought me to my knees and it changed me forever and the first effect of that change was feeling ready to be a mom. I thought Lea Luna would be born the day @ahlaluna died. Her death day became my due date. The day came and went and my contractions started two days later, with the full moon, and with that, my little moon arrived. I see a little bit of Andrea in her and I wonder, was she the beginning to that end? Did they talk, in that moment in between? I don’t know. Luna points to the picture on my altar and says “E-A” which I think means Andrea but it’s also how she says LEA so right now they come out one and the same. ⁣
⁣
Maybe they are. For me, they are my end and my beginning, all wrapped up in one. ⁣

When I sit by this tree I feel her.
