CHASING NATURE.....

BASIL AND THE SEED
The Basil Plant is one of the most interesting around. Did you know that the seeds of the Basil plant are known to remove unwelcome eye debris? Through experience of my own, I can say that my Grandmothers wisdom of this Plant helped me to understand the fascinating attributes within its seed. I came into contact with its properties because of a foreign object in my eye that became a nuisance after a few days. I was told by my Grandmother to insert one of Basil's Seeds into the affected eye which I was reluctant to do as you can imagine. But after a while of discomfort I decided to give it a try. When I placed the Seed in my eye, it immediately got lost inside and was gone. I could not even tell it was there. The next day upon awakening, I noticed the Seed at the corner of my eye along with all the debris. Basil not only removed the foreign invader, but  cleansed my eye for hours without even making a fuss! The aroma of the Seed has led me to believe that other than the ability to cleanse the eye it could probably chase away any unfavourable organisms that may reside inside. My opinion of Basil is one of curiosity, admiration, and respect. Its a Gracious Gift of Nature we most definitely need to protect!

 PAPAYA TISSUE REGENERATION 2012-2013
I've experienced up close the powerful regeneration abilities of the Papaya Tree. It seems to contain its own internal  stem cell regeneration system. Its amazing enzymatic properties that are known to be everywhere from its leaves, to the seeds to its trunk probably account for a huge part of its amazing ability to regenerate. I've come across many people that are not aware of this but...  the Papaya tree is so regenerative that it can easily heal from severe wounds from just about any part of the tree/plant. I have grown Papayas after losing ALL of the top portion of my tree/plants due to an unforgiving cold snap. I just remove the damaged tissue.... and the tree/plant/herb does the rest.

Our country cries with tears of pain

 that fall upon its Lands of Grain

 That once were rich and so alive 

today can barely now survive

 Our country grieves with great despair

 the damage done

 beyond repair

 A nation once....

 so big and strong

 Is wounded now by what went wrong

 She held her own throughout the years

 Was home to those who fought her fears

 Who stood beside the Land they knew

 and watched how strong and proud she grew

 Together many shared a dream

 and built on visions

 they'd redeem 

Success was theirs

 as freedom poured

 through faith and hope

 they all had stored

 America....

Land of the Free?

 Known all too well by you and me

 Is stricken now by laws that stand

 of which she cannot understand

 That seize all justice

 peace and hope

 She knows not how

 to breathe nor cope 

She struggles as she moves along 

The weight upon her... 

much too strong

 This Land once made for me and you

 Endures the pain that she's been through 

Her quest in search of what went wrong 

remains unseen as she moves on 

tis grim as man plays out his part 

While constantly She's torn apart

 America... 

Oh can't they see?

 That time has but forsaketh thee

 It's changed the Land that once before 

stood out within her every core

 Where those who loved the Land they knew

 Could witness dreams

 today

 too few 

Within a Nation under God

 Thus formed for Peace

 and Hope to trod
