Early Spring Greens (pictured above Sisymbrium altissimum)
Despite our erratic weather spring is here! Nature wants to thrive and a short walk around the neighborhood reveals that it is! Our early Spring plants grow in cracks, sidewalks, along fences, in the most inhospitable corners of backyards, basically where sun, gravel and protection meet. I walked around the Milagro Store building on 5th St. and found numerous early Spring edibles and medicinals. Mostly dominated by Mustard family plants (Brassicaceae) this is a typical scenario. Fern leaf and wide leaf, they are standard native growers. And the strong, spicy and bitter flavor in the leaves fits our Spring need for clearing the Liver, while removing toxins accumulated over the last 6-12 months. Mustard greens are eaten throughout the world when the leaves are young and tender, raw or lightly steamed. Throughout the Mediterranean mustard greens are a staple to bring out flavor and bring in nutrition. You might know the Mustard family for many of our cultivars such as arugula, cabbage, and many vegetables used in Chinese cuisine.

Late Winter Viruses
"The present period of unprecedented ecological change and the growing economic and social crises that are driving vast movements of hosts are together contributing to the resurgence of old pests and the appearance of new ones. Important components in this rapid evolution are the vulnerabilities of ecosystems and the instabilities in climate."
-Paul Epstein - Emerging Diseases and Ecosystem Instability: New Threats to Public Health

We are seeing unprecedented climate change and environmental degradation as the corporate industrial economic model ramps up natural resource extraction and ignores associated waste pollution. Ask anyone age 60 and older about the environmental changes they have seen just in their lifetime. The pristine streams and oceans I played in as a child are now toxic and to be avoided. On the surface it appears the same as before, nothing looks different but the changes are on a micro and macro scale. This is not just about species extinction, which does occur naturally, but about short-term irreversible pollution of our Mother Earth.

Couple those massive changes with degradation of our food and drinking water, wholesale ingestion of pharmaceutical drugs, mass human migration across large geographic areas,and human caused climate change and we are presented with serious day to day health challenges. We can look no further than this winter's influenza outbreak that has resulted in numerous deaths and weaknesses.

Bear Medicine/Winter Solstice

We enter into the darkest day of of the year, The Winter Solstice, after the harvest. The end of summer and early fall represent the harvest; the fruit of our labor; the manifestation of our beliefs and emotions and thoughts. One teacher asked me at this time, "How well did you aim your arrow?" What is the fruit of your emotions? She meant did you achieve your goals of the year? What have you manifested in your life?

As the wheel of the year turns away from the harvest, and towards darkness, we are given the relief of Bear Medicine or Introspection. A season to evaluate how well we aimed our arrow. How can we create new goals, that better reflect our changing values. Dream deep and long and call upon your Loving Ancestors, including Bear, to be nourished by the darkness and to find deeper levels of truth within yourself. Herbal allies for dreaming and resting are: mugwort, damiana, skullcap, rose petals, vervain, and california poppy. Blessed Be and Happy Holidays.
