This is such a lovely book. It‘s part memoir, but completely about our relationship to the land as human beings. It has a wonderful focus on how we don‘t have to be a negative influence on the land we live on and survive because of. It‘s not a win-lost proposition. It comes from both a scientific and an indigenous perspective, which unsurprisingly aren‘t always two different perspectives. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
I finished the audiobook last night. Now to go back into the paperback and dive into different parts further.

This is so beautifully comforting. I feel this every time life gets crazy. I just want to go out, away from cars and life, into nature and peace. It‘s wonderful.

I‘ve been to the kitchen. It‘s true. Beans have belly buttons… squash is an ovary… each individual kernel on a corn cob is also an ovary. Apparently we‘re all eating sex when we eat veggies.

I don‘t know why, but I sobbed at this part. What a sweet gesture. We should do this for all parents who have just dropped their youngest child off at college.

Animals used to keep humans alive. Now, we must keep them alive. 💙💙💙

How I wish people looked at the Bible this way instead of acting like it was written by a magical being and means the same thing for all of time. 🤦🏼♀️ (surprise! Homosexual in Ancient Rome meant a rich man having sex with a poor man...so clearly that doesn‘t mean the same thing today. Bigots.)

Oh, the difference something as simple as a creation story can make. One sees the natural world as a caring, giving partner, the other sees it as something to be subdued.
