Some traditions hold that being found by something — a plant mid-path, a bird landing closer than usual, an encounter that arrives without your seeking — is not accident but the world reaching toward you, and you, you were able to stay with the contact itself — the brief sense that something met you, and that you were, in that moment, able to meet it.

We run on the same unspoken rules without noticing they're rules: effort in, result out; do enough of the right things, earn the reward.
Some things move by completely different rules — arriving unbidden, owing nothing to what you've put in or deserved. A different way of reading what's already circulating.

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.'

Human survival has always been interdependent. Other species sustained us materially and culturally — not as resources, but as relations. When we stop to controlling and listen more carefully, a different kind of responsibility becomes visible: responding to what has carried us, rather than assuming exemption from consequence.

Aquest llibre és preciós. Hauriem de recuperar eixa relació amb la natura. Son sensacions que avui en dia no experimentem i és una llàstima.

After the work of unlearning — loosening certainty, questioning habit, letting old reflexes fall quiet — this arrives as a gentler truth.
Being lost isn’t the same as being unheld. Some forms of knowing don’t argue or instruct; they orient us slowly, through relationship rather than explanation.

Flourishing isn’t something one being achieves alone.
Living systems tell the real story — one of reciprocity, interdependence, and shared conditions.Kimmerer’s words feel especially steady right now, as many of us sense the limits of individual solutions and begin turning toward mutual care — with each other, and with the land.

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

“We protect what we fall in love with.”
Love isn’t the soft escape we’ve been taught to imagine — it’s the grounding force that helps us show up.
It roots us in what matters.
It steadies us when things get hard.
And it gives us the courage to stop looking away and start tending the world in front of us.Love is responsibility.
Love is protection.
Love is practice.#LifeboatAcademy #EarthHeart #WeProtectWhatWeLove #AutumnPractice #EverydayCourage #robinwallkimmerer

That, I think, is the power of ceremony. It marries the mundane to the sacred. The water turns to wine; the coffee to a prayer.

What if our economy protected what we love instead of harming it?
It’s time for systems that honour life.#Decolonize #ClimateJustice #SystemsChange #RobinWallKimmerer #LifeboatAcademy #Ecology #CareEconomy

Das Sammeln von Moos – Robin Wall Kimmerer, Judith Schalansky (Hg.)
Eine Geschichte von Natur und Kultur
https://www.matthes-seitz-berlin.de/buch/das-sammeln-von-moos.html?lid=1
Meine früheste Erinnerung an »Naturwissenschaft« (oder war es »Religion«?) stammt aus meinem Kindergarten in der alten Grange Hall. Wir rannten zu den vereisten Fenstern und drückten uns die Nasen platt, um den ersten, schwindlig machenden Schneeflocken zuzusehen. Miss Hopkins war als Erzieherin viel zu erfahren, um die Begeisterung Fünfjähriger über den ersten Schnee bremsen zu wollen, und ging mit uns nach draußen … Leseprobe:
