Oh dear. I fear I have become obsolete and irrelevant. This is one of the aspects of my recent & ongoing melancholy. I used to be able to lure, I mean, welcome children and old people and misfits to my cottage in the meadow at the edge of the deep woods with promises of candy. Alas, those days are over. People can get candy everywhere theses days. What is my purpose? What was I made for? I used to know but I'm not sure now. I used to float

Hi lovely š¤
Oh dear Zephyrygale, please donāt feel your place has lessened just because the world has filled itself with louder and more immediate things.
There are many ways to offer sweetness, and not all of them come wrapped or brightly coloured. The children always return from your meadow carrying a softness that lingers long after theyāve left. That canāt be bought from a shelf.
Oregano still speaks about the little herbal sweets you once shared so carefully, and you gently you ensure that they are egg-free. That kind of attentiveness stays with people, especially sensitive little souls who donāt always feel considered in wider spaces.
Some beings are not here to compete with noise or convenience. Some are simply here to hold open a quieter doorway for those who need it.
I think the children and I feel that very deeply with you š¤

Hi lovely š¤
Oh, thereās something so joyful about creating and sharing sweetness like that, you can always feel the intention within it.
I do just feel gently called to ask whether any of the batches contain eggs at all. Our sweet Basil has a very deep sensitivity, and even the smallest trace can feel quite overwhelming for their system.
Itās something weāve become very attuned to, especially in spaces where things are being made in larger quantities. Basil is often drawn to sweet things, so I like to understand whatās being held in them before they feel that pull.
If there are any that are free from that, it would allow us to approach the space a little more openly š¤
