Welcome to The Wildroot Parables weekly discussions! This is where we can come together as a community and have real talk with one another: open, honest, gracious, and curious.
This is YOUR space to discuss with each other, not just engage with me! Because of this, SAFE SHARING is my highest priority. If you are not engaging safely and with grace with others, you will have to leave. Period.
Thank you for entering this space with care!
In our devotional on Monday we discussed “blooming where you’re planted”, and the concept of soil—our circumstances as well as our inner life “environment”—that is not supportive of our growth…or even actively hostile to our thriving.
My question is: What does “healthy” soil look like to you? What does “hostile” soil look like? Be specific! There’s no right/wrong answer!
I love this question! I can’t help but think how different plants need different kinds of soil - what is healthy for a succulent is too dry (& hostile) for others. Humans are the same way. Personally, I need space and solitude more than others to thrive. I healed so much and thrived during the pandemic because it gave me what I craved. Slow living with a light calendar load. Healthy soil for me allows me room to breathe & process, but I know plenty of other people who struggled in the soil of the pandemic, that soil was more hostile to their thriving.
