Borage - Borago officinalis

Quite a few people find it difficult enough to allow great orgasmic feelings, how will they react to unpleasant, painful emotions?

Our culture has moved death and dying to the hospital, where professional staff will take care of it. We even see the dead just washed and powdered, are holding the church ritual - sometimes not even that - and go back to business as usual the next day. No crying, no screaming, maybe wipe a tear from the corner of my eye - that's it.

However mourning is an essential human task. If we fail to mourn we extend our pain infinitely. Borage corresponds to the archetypal mourner, which is not ashamed to cry out. Borage frees and opens us to the new, without having to erase or forget the history.
