The whistle shrieks, the wheels collide,
a metal box where secrets hide.

In shadows cast by rusted steel,
the hollow ache, the stolen feel.

Between the rhythmic, iron beat,
the pulse of lives in cold retreat.

Through tunnels deep and stations blurred, a silent cry that goes unheard.

A heavy door, a latch of gloom,
the moving walls of transient doom.

But every track that carves the land,
must feel the strength of justice's hand.

To stop the train, to break the seal,
and shatter all the ways they steal.

For every soul held in the dark,
we light the way, and strike the spark.

The flower in this photo is (Ratibida Columnifera), commonly known as the Mexican Hat flower or upright prairie coneflower. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial native to North American prairies.

Traditional & Herbal Uses Include:

Herbal Teas: Historically, a pleasant-tasting beverage tea has been brewed from the leaves and cylindrical flower heads.

Traditional Topical Wash: Native American tribes, such as the Cheyenne, traditionally boiled the stems and leaves to create a topical wash applied externally to relieve pain from poison ivy rashes or snakebites.

Historical Infusions: Traditional infusions of the flower heads or leaves were historically used to soothe headaches, stomach aches, and low-grade fevers.

NOTE:👀👇🏼

Pest Deterrent: The plant's feathery foliage emits a strong, pungent odor that naturally repels deer. May be a good flower to plant around your gardens.

My mother in law got me this a few months ago to add to my collection and I have been patiently waiting to see one of its blooms in person. This morning she made her appearance and she didn't disappoint.😍🌺🩷

The plant in this image is Purslane (Portulaca Oleracea), a highly resilient, nutrient-dense succulent often considered a w**d but widely valued across the globe as a culinary crop and traditional herbal remedy.

Culinary Uses Include:

The entire aerial part of the plant—leaves, stems, and flower buds—is edible, featuring a crisp, juicy texture and a slightly tangy, lemony flavor.

Raw Greens: Tossed into salads, added to sandwiches, or used as a garnish.

Soups and Stews: Cooked as a potherb. It turns slightly mucilaginous (slimy) when heated, making it excellent for thickening liquid dishes.

Stir-Fries: Sautéed lightly with garlic, olive oil, or other vegetables like spinach.

Pickling: Preserved in vinegar to retain its crunch and tang for off-season consumption.

Purslane is celebrated as a "superfood" because it contains exceptionally high levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids for a land plant, alongside vitamins A, C, and E.

Medicinal Uses Include:

Nutritional Supplementation: Consumed to boost intake of essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron.

Topical Poultices: Historically, mashed fresh leaves have been applied directly to the skin to soothe minor burns, insect bites, and inflammation.

Traditional Tonics: Brewed into teas or juices in folk medicine to address digestive discomfort and support general wellness.

⚠️Caution⚠️ Purslane contains a high concentration of oxalates. If you are prone to kidney stones, you should consume it in moderation or cook it first to reduce oxalate levels.
