WHITE CHESTNUT Auesculus hippocastanum baumannii

White Chestnut offers to contain and strengthen us when we are called to be a container for others who are suffering and need our support while they regroup from shattering events.  White Chestnut explains its strengths, “I ease your burdens, especially the burden of sorrows felt for others.  Sometimes it is difficult to carry another soul's sorrows, yet sometimes it must be done.  You walk together with another and sometimes a companion needs your strength while he or she regroups from shattering events and finds the strength to go on.  I offer to help you when you must be the strength in a friendship.  I offer my strength so you can offer yours.  I am a towering candelabra of luminous white blossoms, rising from pedestrian streets to remind you that it is in losing your self in selfless compassionate loving service to others that you find what you are looking for: your true eternal self.”

I AM the strength offered and found in brave and selfless service.
