I hope my words make you feel a little lost in the ether, away with the clouds, and a little closer to the centre of a flower—nectar. I hope my poetry and prose, sentences and rhythms, reminds you, your feet are planted directly onto the earth and it’s from her you are born from.

I hope my words help heal wounds inside of you that you ran away from because you thought you were the only one who could feel so deep, so raw, so broken. You’re not. Life is alchemy. The lesson, the cycle, is to transmute dark to light, light to dark. 🌗

My daughter will look to me as to how a woman should be
And I am torn
Do I act how I have perceived society has told me to?
Smile and be polite but do not be inviting or you will welcome attention
Be agreeable but also do not be a pushover
Dress modestly but also dress as you wish because it’s your body
Be strong and never show you need help
But if you act as if you don’t need any help you will not find a man who loves you
If you love yourself you won’t wear makeup but you also won’t care what you look like
but you should also wear makeup because you have many flaws that need to be camouflaged
Do not be assertive, blunt, or bossy but communicate clearly without emotion so you can be understood

I think it would be best to gesture to nature and say
Georgia, to be a woman is to mirror Mother Earth.

As Heard From Alma (Review Pictured) // 📕🌸

This book is for you, should it call to your heart.

Culminating over 4 years of deep connection with Menang Country, Saara Milliken’s debut poetry book “A Flower State of Mind” features poems which are co-created with the bees, trees, butterflies, flowers, seasons, rhythms, and cycles of nature.

Themes: Self-love, healing, navigating life changes, building resilience, slowing down, falling in love, being a woman, noticing the little details, practicing patience, accepting one-self, feeling a deep connection to nature/wolves/the earth/seasons/moon cycles/sunshine.

It’s “co-created with nature” because each poem was written in the forest which Saara lives within.

And 100% of the time it’s with .rhythm.cacao 🤎

I’ve left a sweet lantern to light your cacao ritual, which you can find in the new blend “Under One Sky”.

Written from the forest, whilst sipping the same brew. The words found me, and so together, the cacao, forest, and I threaded the poem, which you will uncover inside the beautiful blue cocoon holding your cacao.

I hope it resonates. Maybe you will find something new, each time you begin your concoction.

Printed on 100% recycled paper, as always.

Before the life (that I share) which you see now…I did and lived some things, that in hindsight, have truly helped me write and publish my debut book “A Flower State of Mind”.

This is not to say your journey to writing and publishing should mirror this— it is simply an insight into the story of how mine came to be.

This is Part Two of the series — you can find Part One on my grid.

A Flower State of Mind is here.📕🌸

In conversation with the Author ~

Why flowers?
I think flowers are forgiving, delicate, powerful, all-knowing. They have so much to teach us. Noticing their beauty, their influence on my inner-world, and the healing they have given me, has led me to dedicate the title to them.

What is at the core of the book’s theme?
This book is filled with poems which weave my lived experiences over the last 4 years, with my deep connection to nature. So, readers can expect to find poems centred around growth, finding the Self, healing, slowing down, falling in love, and other themes which I don’t wish to elaborate on, as it is for the reader to discover/uncover.

How was it written?
I didn’t write the poems for this book. They were written in my journal for my Self. Given that I live in a forest, and find deep connection with nature, there is a common theme with my writing. Collectively, they are my debut into the world of publishing.

What is the vision?
My only hope is that the words resonate with those who read it. Beyond this “hope”, perhaps it’s naive to think that those who have access to poetry, and to books, may find deep value in intentional human-created art.
