Nettle marks the boundary between path and beds — a metaphor for personal limits without aggression. Not joint therapy or a duty to cook nettle soup.

Show full procedure as a list
  1. Find a nettle patch where you and grazing rules are not at risk.
  2. Stand at a safe distance and watch light and shadow on the leaves — do not gather bare-handed without gloves.
  3. Inwardly name one boundary you need to keep today (time, a word, calm).
  4. Leave without taking anything from the plant; nettle stays where it grows.

Safety and limits

Explain respect for stinging plants to children; do not push into dense growth in shorts.
