Finding myself with two pairs of vintage baby shoes, I started contemplating what paths the wearers might have taken.A story started unspooling in my head in which a brother and sister both started out filled with curiosity about nature and drawn to healing, but as they grew older, their paths diverged. One turned to the world of science, diving into chemistry and math and moving to the city to study pharmaceutical medicine.The other followed an intuitive path that pulled her deeper into the world of plant medicine and an ecstatic relationship with the earth.
