I seize the day
with calm excitement
and open to change
with tingles in my fingers,
a hunger in my belly
for life. I am ready
for something,
I can do anything
I move with a sense of adventure,
motivated by pleasure,
confident in my soul.

Red Poppy, as fiery as a flower can be, papery and light, gives us a sense of adventure and possibility. I made this essence with my young niece, so it is filled with her youthful vibrancy as well. Poppy is associated with the Goddess Demeter, protector of hearth and harvest, and she reminds us of the potential our actions can have for growth and abundance.
