This piece reflects on finding small moments of joy to survive living with grief. Grief is a persistent and pervasive part of living with chronic illness, due to systemic ableism and inadequate healthcare in the US. This experience is reflected through the use of bright, hypersaturated colors contrasted with deep grays and blues. Picking flowers, lingering outside while the sun sets, or cooking a meal with a friend are all things that bring me joy through hard moments and help me fill my cup.

Continuing on with my series of "plant bouquets" is another illustration featuring poppies, anise hyssop, and more garlic. I often turn to plants and their medicine/symbols during the darkest periods of life to process grief.

In the context of Jewish plant medicine, garlic is associated with life-affirming protection, ancestral healing, and Jewish diaspora.

Palestine's red Poppies symbolize the relationship between Palestinian life and relationship to the land, and martyrs lost to over 75 years of violent occupation,

Anise Hyssop has roots in Kabbalah plant medicine and is associated with purification rituals. According to Jewitches, “When the Israelites were to paint blood over their door posts to protect them from the angel of death claiming the firstborns, it was the plant hyssop that they were instructed to use. Its protective uses are lauded to this day.”

Special thanks to Jewitches and Dori Midnight for sharing ancient wisdom about Jewish plant medicine.
