Okay, THIS is why I love paired sessions. 🌿
Sophia and Chase were working together today, and somehow a conversation about plant medicine turned into an acrostic poem.
And honestly… I just sat back and watched them build it.
One would throw out an idea, the other would pick it up and run with it. Sometimes they were right on the letter. Sometimes they had to think about it for a minute. Sometimes one idea sparked another idea, and suddenly we had a whole line.
And I love that neither one of them had to do this alone.
They were actually creating something together.
So here it is their PLANT MEDICINE acrostic, with S for Sophia and C for Chase:
🌿 P — S: PLANTS, GOD'S MEDICINE BY PERFECT DESIGN.
🌿 L — C: LEAVES, ROOTS, BUDS, AND FLOWERS EXTRACT THE COMPOUNDS.
🌿 A — S: ANTIOXIDANTS GALORE. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
🌿 N — C: NAUSEOUS STOMACH ISSUES? PEPPERMINT TO THE RESCUE.
🌿 T — S: TIRED, CRANKY, AND WANT TO RUN AWAY? TRY LAVENDER TEA.
🌿 M — C: MEDICAL DOCTORS SHOULD KNOW MORE.
🌿 E — S: EXTRACTS HAVE HIGHLY POTENT EFFECTS.
🌿 D — C: DRUGS NOT THE ONLY WAY.
🌿 I — S: INTENSELY IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY'S SIGNALS.
🌿 C — C: CULTIVATING HELP WITH WHAT WE WERE GIVEN.
🌿 I — S: IMMUNE SUPPORT, INSOMNIA, AND INFLAMMATION—BUST OUT THE HERBS. THERE IS A CURE.
🌿 N — C: NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN MORE.
🌿 E — S: EVERY PERSON HAS A CHANCE TO FEEL THEIR BEST.
My favorite part might actually be how different their lines are.
Sophia brought one thought. Chase took it in another direction. Then Sophia came back with something else. It wasn't two people writing two separate poems and putting them together at the end.
It was back and forth.
And that's what made the final poem feel like theirs.
Also… “NAUSEOUS STOMACH ISSUES? PEPPERMINT TO THE RESCUE.”
Chase, I think you may have a career in herbal advertising.
And Sophia’s “TIRED, CRANKY, AND WANT TO RUN AWAY?” might be the most relatable line in the entire poem.
I love watching what happens when we give our spellers a topic they can really sink their teeth into and the freedom to take their thoughts wherever they go.
Today, it was plant medicine.
And apparently, they had A LOT to say about it.
