Be as generous as a comfrey plant.
~Gaia
Hello, this message about comfrey came to me this week as I was thinking about how each plant has its own wonderful characteristics and feel to it. Comfrey is a marvelous plant, often used in permaculture because it does so many things. It has a long taproot that goes deep into the soil, bringing up nutrients that are deposited in its leaves. The leaves sprawl around it and mulch the soil, releasing the nutrients where other plants can use them. I am interested to see what Gaia has to say about this!
Blessings, Mary

Dear and beloved children, my friends,
Each moment you are invited and welcomed to let nature be your teacher, your partner, your friend. We learn from you, dear ones. We yearn to teach you our lessons and share our wisdom.
Indeed each plant has its role, its gift, its purpose, just as you do. What joy when people discover what makes their heart sing and their soul feel like flying!
Comfrey is a strong and resilient plant. Its deep roots reach down into the soil and find the nutrients that they need. First the comfrey uses what it needs for growth and development. It then shares the bounty with other life. What is the lesson? To care for your own needs before you try to care for others. When you are drained and worn out, you have little to share. Tend to your own needs before you try to give. Then you will be a joyful giver and all are blessed.
What else does comfrey teach? Sharing! Often humans withhold and hoard, fearful that they won’t have ‘enough’. This worry simply creates what you fear will happen, for your thoughts create your reality, whether you realize it or not. When your cup is full, share! This keeps the energy flowing and draws from the Divine Source which is without limit.
Comfrey also teaches endurance and resilience. Once a comfrey plant is established, it is almost impossible to remove. It survives many circumstances and challenges. So can you! Comfrey is connected to deep places where life flourishes. So are you! When life sends you difficulties, reach deep into the earth and high into the sky, where you can sense your oneness with all that is. Then you will find comfort, confidence and connection.
Comfrey is a cheerful plant, strong and happy to be of service. It has gifts and shares them gladly. When you care for your own needs, you will be cheerful and sharing will flow naturally from you to others and back again, blessing the circle of life.
I love you, my darlings. I hold you close to my heart during this Turning Time when all is being made new. Stay close to me and all will be well.
I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend

Lovely. I have an old beautiful comfrey to which I feel a great attachment. Now I realize that it has had the medicine that strengthens me. I’ve been diving into the joys of the Earth Mother and consumed with Her beauty. And at last my little bit of prairie is seeded. A dream long held is realized during this time of Taurus.
