From a generous gardener in the neighborhood…

To a creative gardencentric therapist…

whose sign I found posted on the “community board” at Flatbush Food Co-op on Cortelyou…

To Friday night mighty jazz jam sessions at Williamsburg Music Center at Bedford & S. 5th (it’s a non-profit org founded and run by the amazingly talented and community focused, greener-than-green thumb, Jerry Eastman)….

To blueberry cake in the fridge when I get home, to be married with the most delectable ice cream anywhere to be found (a sinful scoop each of Brooklyn Bell’s brown sugar whiskey vanilla and BB’s black chocolate) …

Sour cream and maple frosting topping it in and off…

To the sunlight through the edible leaves…

To sage to burn (or smudge) to keep out pests (mosquitoes detest this) and establish harmony in the heart and home….

To Wednesday morning jazz and eggs to break Tuesday’s fast. Topped with herbs from the garden…

May you welcome summer this week with a celebration of all your tools of healing, peace and power.
