I read in Lives of the Trees: An Uncommon History by Diana Wells that there are two kinds of almonds: sweet (dulcis) and bitter (amara). The word amara jumped out at me. I like the sound of it. I thought it would make a good meditation theme, imagining someone named Amara, someone who has a tartness to her which gives her strength. I like a lot of names, many of them botanically oriented. It would be interesting to meditate on each. I think each one represents strengths I want to draw out in myself. These names could include the ones I use for this blog:
Terra
Maple
Forester
and also
Amara
Samara
Sage
Juniper
Hannah
Joy
Sierra
Marguerite
Evergreen
Jade
Mariner
Beacon
Haven
Sky
Sunflower
Sunlight
Cedar
Holly
Hazel
Ivy
Oak
Rowan
Cinnamon
