Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”
February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
"Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.
Free. Registration Required."
About the author:
"As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.'

Wow, Robin Wall Kimmerer on the Time Magazine list of the 100 Most Influential People in 2025! I see that this news is actually a bit old already, but I had missed it. This is such #goodnews ! Her book Braiding Sweetgrass was the main inspiration for my most performed musical work this year, I named my piece "Becoming Indigenous" after one of the chapters in her book. Her message should be spread everywhere #Robinwallkimmerer #environmental #nature #braidingsweetgrass

Kimmerer’s reminder lands softly but precisely: restoration is empty without relationship. What lasts is the reciprocity we build with place — the ongoing, living exchange that outlives any single intervention.

haha
kaveri valitti siitepölystä
siite-- hehe 😁🌾👋
sitähän se on, kasvien poikapuolisia sukusoluja, aka spermaa
...ja mietin freudilaisittain onko tässä joku yhteys siihen miksi jotkut (etenkin oikeistokonservatiivimmat) tahot vihaa veganismia? mutta syö lihaa.
onko kyse taas kerran siitä että seksi ei oo ok mutta väkivalta on?
...tiesittehän että kurpitsa on itse asiassa *munasarja*? 🎃

luen uudestaan (emt, ehkä kolmatta tai neljättä? kertaa) braiding sweetgrassia.
maailmassa on niin paljon negaa uutista ja kaikenlaista silppua, niin on niin hyvä lukea jotain kokonaisvaltaista näkemystä. ja "original instructions"
oon ilmeisesti saanut yhden tutun taas vakuutettua lukemaan kirjan 😁 mene tiedä tykkääkö hän siitä.

“I cannot express how eerie it is to be collecting maple sap in early March and there not being any snow covering the forest floor. I’ve NEVER seen this before” (Ryan Katz-Rosene)
Reminded of Kimmerer on maple syrup in #BraidingSweetgrass. That “forever”practices are having to change is something to process in itself; but maybe change and adaptation are part of their foreverness. At any rate: people doing them are everywhere the most astute observers of #ClimateChange

we've been pretty inconsiderate guests, he meant
elämä on lahja
life is a gift
and even tho it is given without asking, one needs to honor the gift
one is not free from reciprocality
(i learnt this from #braidingSweetgrass, and from some other book about native american history. everything is relations.)
lahjan saaminen sitoo sen saajaa

For #indigenousPeoplesDay i would also like to share this passage from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s #BraidingSweetgrass. I read it a few days ago and keep on thinking about #SpeciesLoneliness - such a powerful, important concept. Modern life has made us species lonely, we do not know the names of plants and animals around us anymore

"The question of goldenrod and asters was of course just emblematic of what I really wanted to know. It was an architecture of relationships, of connections that I yearned to understand. I wanted to see the shimmering threads that hold it all together. And I wanted to know why we love the world, why the most ordinary scrap of meadow can rock us back on our heels in awe."

Though I can’t access the experience of mushroom selfhood or butterfly selfhood—I can’t know what it’s like to be those people—there is some relationship between the mushroom and me, the butterfly and me, some common rouser or piper that pipes 'puhpowee' in the night and creates the conditions for all of our selves to emerge, however different they are from each other.

4/4 It took me a long time to finish it, and it is quite long, but I hope it captures my thought process, or the connection I see between these two texts and why it matters.

1/ I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but whenever I read a new book I'm always thinking about ways it connects or relates to all the other books I've read.
Naturally, because I tend to reread a lot of the same things (like #Thoreau and #Zhuangzi) I tend to more easily find connections between new books and those more familiar ones.
When I first read #BraidingSweetgrass a few years ago I immediately felt many, many connections to both.

I know this is the *ideal* time to post a nearly 4000 word blog post on selfhood, identity, fungi, and butterflies. Who doesn't want to spend their Friday night reading long personal musings about Daoism and indigenous knowledge???

"Never take the first plant you find, as it might be the last - and you want that first one to speak well of you to the others of her kind." - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass.

#Gather is a beautiful and sometimes challenging documentary with a great deal of hope. If you liked the book #BraidingSweetgrass, you’ll like this. If neither is known to you, then you’ve got two excellent works to enjoy. https://gather.film/

I've just finished reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It was very deep, and thought provoking. It was quite a slow read, due to the subject matter, and also the small type face 🤣
I could only read a chapter a
night.Next up is The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune.

The source of all this is I'd like to make a craft to depict the rules of the honorable harvest, as expressed in Robin Wall Kimmerer's #BraidingSweetgrass.
I can't carve this many letters, it seems wrong to woodburn, and I don't want to cross-stitch it... So! Calligraphy and linocut.
