I have a confession to make to you all. Last week I got married with my love of more than 15 years. Secretly and minimal. No guest list, no wedding dress, no stress.
And experiencing that moment made me realise how much I am also married to the plant world. It really is like a marriage: I wake up with them, sleep with them, eat with them, learn with them, they are my support when I feel sick. I breathe their oxygen.
I take them with me wherever I go and they live in my heart.
They help me grow to become a better person.
They accept me just the way I am. They don't want me to become domesticated.
They put up with my mistakes.
As for me, I am very committed to them.
I will respect and honour them, no matter what.
We are so intertwined that hurting them would be hurting myself.
