Corn maidens

• Patience!

• Seeing the world as a child and an adult at the same time. Seeing corn through innocence; like a child, but a damn smart one.

• Corn requires support at its roots. As it grows and reaches knee height you need to build up dirt support around it so it doesn't fall over. We all need support as we reach towards the heavens.

• Fearlessness.

• Corn Maidens love to play rough, especially with boys.

• Corn can only be beaten down by wind, rain, and the elements, for so long before it bends. Be careful who you let beat you down.

• Despite the elements and the eventual bend or break, after a bit of intimacy, corn will stand straight up again.

• Corn needs balance too: Sun, heat, rain, food, water. Balance is key. Too much of any one thing will kill it.

• Corn is an overachiever. Next to the other plants in the garden, corn extends to the greatest heights just by being itself.

• Weeds will try to take corn over, tangle it up. A bit like negative thoughts and negative people.

• Planting corn is meant for community. Even from thousands of miles away help can come for your crop when you ask for it.

• If you're sad or sick, the corn maidens take away what ails you.

• My life doesn't quite work without corn. Even if for some reason I lose a crop it still, in death, teaches me in a profound way.
