Brown Eyed Evening Primrose - Camissonia clariformis

“Sweet, sweet ones.  I am a gentle friend.  I know how the accumulation of abusive experiences in your life, especially in your life as child, can leave you wearing bitterness as a protective garment.  I help you integrate these events and use them to experience the sweetness of life. 

My wisdom is hard won.  Don’t think of my gentleness as a sign I am not strong.*  My stem of maroon and red indicates my own difficult evolution in trying and abusive situations.  My Flower’s maroon eye indicates my initial reaction of bitterness to what happened in my world.  My expansive white petals, building from this maroon eye, indicate that I found my way through to an experience of life and view of the world that is both true and sweet.  My incorporation of my maroon eye and maroon stem indicates how I treasure what I learned from my difficulties and consequently how much I honor your experiences.  I reach out to you in your difficulties and offer my sweet love and my roadmap to a new place.  My vibration salutes all you have been through, acknowledges why bitterness was a necessary part of your healing journey**, and finally offers you a way to unburden yourself from your sorrows so you are truly free to embrace life fully and freely. 

*I can attest to this determined strength.  When I tried to write this definition the computer froze several times and most of what I had written was lost.  When I realized Brown Eyed Evening Primrose wanted to speak for itself, things went smoothly.

**Brown Eyed Evening Primrose says about bitterness, “The wounds are deep from abusive experiences.   Bitterness can offer a needed layer of protection for the wound.  As healing progresses this bitterness can become a limitation and not a help.  At this point in your healing journey, I help you let go of the bitterness.”

I AM the sweet beyond the bitter.
