husband and wife; honestly, just about everywhere one looks
there is partnership. In nature an example of partnership is the
bees and flowers. The bees fly from flower to flower collecting
the bees’ food to take back to the hive. The flower’s pollen
becomes a hitchhiker on the bees as they fly from blossom to
blossom, ensuring pollination and another generation of the flower
to bloom.

Gebo carries caution with it also. In order to be functional in a

relationship (of whatever type) you have to be able to stand on your own. Kahlil

your togetherness.” Those spaces are the fresh air and sunlight that can come
into your inner self and the relationship, feeding both with the promise of the
future.

Gebo is also associated with being a good luck charm for organizations that are
serving their fellow man. It normally indicates a period of increased activity
and the potential of new contracts and forward advancement for the cause. By
