Grow Air: Rainforest Garden

Rainforest Garden, Amor Milagre

When every day feels like a century, and every lifetime is quite a painful one, an old soul in their 30’s remembers youthful plans to move to the rainforest.  There were too many years scraped by and deprived of my green family, The Trees.  I had a list of what to pack for the journey.  I planned for some sandwiches and water.  I wouldn’t need shoes, just instincts.  I do remember a lifetime when I did live there, long before they cut it down.  Full of life, it was!  Beautiful animals and fascinating plants.  Colours and shapes and senses…everywhere!  The jungle was alive itself, and her soul breathed for all of us.

The Jungle Book and The Baron in the Trees suited this long-limbed tree-climbing child.  Travel photography was on my list of daydreams, and I practiced every day.  My first tree dwellings were a success with tools and supplies tied to the higher branches, and me, safe and dry under the pine curtain designing my tree house.  After a while, they noticed I was missing and I was yanked back into the airless box of dust and heavily-scented cleaners.  A baby may be born healthy and strong, but modern homes, schools, and offices crumble our lungs and we reluctantly join the league of wheezing, sleepless dust bunnies.

New systems and ways of building need to include real air, but this means we need the basic right and resource of unpolluted air everywhere.  What kind of air purifier could safely tackle the century of toxins hovering above and around us?  You can’t merely vacuum up the clouds, seal them into the earth, and call it a day.  The poison is engrained in the soil, water, air, and in us.  Our cells are affected by pollution.  It keeps moving in a loop.  Many steps are needed.  The termination of polluting systems and objects is vital.  Plants are the enduring solution.  Years ago, my thesis to preserve the rainforest cultures and wildlife through awareness was presented, but the coffee-in-hand crowd wasn’t listening, as they were too busy pondering more ways to sexually harass me.  (A college review is coming up.)  The answers are obvious, but they need to be implemented and nature preserved.  Redesign the world to be healthy and sustainable.  Get back to nature.

 Although the ways of travelling are so much easier now (albeit stupidly pollutive), I haven’t been able to get there…to the land of leaves and green.  Too much illness, caused by the pavement crowd, delayed me.  And now…are there any leaves left?  Humans, pollution must stop.  Let the trees grow older than a hundred lifetimes.  There are other ways of doing all of the silly things you like without harming the entire world’s ecosystems and life cycles.  But, leave out the harmful things you think you need.  You don’t need them; that was just your fear talking.  Humans have forgotten that they are a small part of the puzzle.  When a tree is cut down, the whole world feels it.  You may not realize it like empaths do, but the loss is felt from the roots to the air, and we are less without it.

On mornings like these, when the rain soaks up the garden in a heavy hug, turning all in it a deep green, I remember my rainforest dreams…and I plant more seeds.

If I cannot move to the most natural places, I can make our place the most natural haven for wildlife and plants to live and grow, organic and unpolluted, and living all together.  I draw the branches.  I paint the trees.  I collect and spread more seeds.

Grow green goodness all around you…and let the babies breathe…

Love, ~ Amor Milagre

Books that Travel Beautifully

Amor Milagre Books that Travel Beautifully
Leona’s Homecoming:  The Love Letter Diaries, The First Year of Seasonal Festivals, 4 Novels Vol. I by Amor Milagre

 

In the pocket of a trusty travel bag fits a delicious novel and a sweet children’s book to savour on a train or plane, in a lamplit inn with the summer breeze kissing your robed cheeks, or swaying on a hammock in your back garden.  ‘Il dolce far niente’ means the sweetness of doing nothing in Italian.  Letting yourself find what you love nourishes and rejuvenates the soul.  My books are for all ages and encourage authentic, kind, peaceful practices and ideas to try.  I love rereading them with our family as I hope you do, too.

In this often chaotic world, I write ways to live beautifully and naturally.  My characters help instead of harm.  They are funny, sweet, thoughtful, and very real.  I send love to anyone who must travel due to emergencies in their homeland.  As I know too well, this kind of travel is not at all relaxing as a vacation would be.  People leave to save their lives.  They are trying to escape danger.  All they had built is left behind, and they have to start over, usually with nothing.  This is heartbreaking and incredibly dangerous.  Precautions and safe help are urgently needed during times of war, natural disasters, and abuse.  Every country must protect the rights of women and children.  Re-abolish slavery for good.  Replace the history of negativity with positive growth that benefits everyone.  New beginnings are a chance to redesign for a better life.  Although we all may miss precious things that were lost due to trauma, we can heal and rebuild a healthy future to keep all of the babies of the world safe.  Peace is possible if we all choose it.

I include tragic misfortunes and terrible struggles in my books, but I paint up characters who help those in need of a positive solution to solve troubles that seem out of their control.  There are too many large and small scale problems on every street and hill in the world.  I write peaceful ideas in the hope that positivity will spread down those streets and over those hills to reach anyone who needs help the most.  Any little bit of help can make the most important difference for one or many.  I wish you a peaceful summer, and I urge everyone to do something that helps someone in the coming months. *Ask how you may help, and then listen.  Work with people to solve and prevent problems.  Ask if you did help, and listen again.  Repeat forever.

I am working on a way for a percentage of each sale to be donated to an organization that directly aids those in need of help while searching for a safe, new home.  Being forced to live a nomadic, uncertain life is cruel, dangerous, and terrifying.  We all need a steady, safe home.  We all can work together to help everyone have this basic need.  Our world must get out of this constant survival mode and change into a deep, lasting time of healing.  Equality and safety is needed worldwide.

Amor Milagre Books that Travel Beautifully

In my gift shop, I also feature artwork and photography inspired by my travels.  Nature adores us always…trailing all the way from a rose wall in Tuscany back home to a sweet rose blooming in our New England cottage garden.  Help, don’t harm.  Preserve nature.  Enjoy your unique senses of nature.

 

Shop:  A Gentle Life Collection

Books Sizes/Types:  Digital Audio, Hardback Pocket, Digest, Square, (Paperbacks are Coming Soon)

 

My books are cosy to read, or listen to, when at home, on a work break or weekend, and while travelling.  Many of my stories are set in New England, such as my Sage Rose Sorrel children’s books, but here are some others that you might love to tag along with as my characters explore new favourite places.

Amaranthe tells of living in NYC and France.  Leona has lived in two homes in Italy:  one by the mountains and one by the sea.  Ellary Eden grows a helpful, enchanting garden in the Witching World!  I have just finished three fresh novels for you to explore soon.  There is one especially delicious new book that is set in Belgium!  Every time you explore a new place, you learn so much for your life ahead.

Happy, safe travels to you!  Love, Amor Milagre

Everyone Can Learn to Be Sensitively Aware to Heal the World

Amor Milagre Presents Leona's Nonna 1st Summer Festival The Love Letter Diaries #1 ethical book series ocean front cover amormilagre.com

Awareness of every minute detail, environment, emotion, thought, connection, and area of our world is desperately necessary by all because it will not only heal highly sensitive people and empaths, but it will heal all people, while preventing futures of negativity for all children. 

Once upon a time…I dreamed of what I love…and I made it my every day.

If you are having trouble being a sensitive person in this world that purposely harms sensitive people by willfully refusing to understand, appreciate, and accommodate them in every aspect of life, please read my books that are specifically designed to help you by supporting and boosting your loving sense of Self.  Aware people are a great asset to the universe.  There is infinite positive value in sensing everything as it is, and in being able to quickly surmise positive solutions to age old conflicts.  Audiobooks and braille books are coming up to include everyone in these loving messages.

Everyone and everything is Loving Light!  We are all sensitive, but many are not aware of it.  Come back to being your real Sensitive Self.

I love everyone and everything in this Universe, including those who are not aware of the wonderful beautiful sensitivity of their Self and All! 

Choose positivity for your Self and All!  XO ~Amor Milagre

 

 

Coming Up:  A new positive original children’s book, adoring Nature, inspiring you to preserve Nature by loving your Self.

Rain drips from golden leaves outside my window.  Last night, I watched them dance in the windy night and I painted my first picture in our new home, at Rose Cottage.  Inky gold dust sang a lullaby, and a release of joy to be useful again burst from brushes and charcoal!  Another followed, and an entire story filled hungry pages.  A children’s book and artwork (originals, art prints, and stationery) for this fresh fall collection will breeze into the shop this week & more this Autumn.
