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.' "FMI and to register:

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.

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.

I preordered Robin Wall Kimmerer's new book "The Serviceberry" ages ago and forgot all about it. What a nice surprise to find on my doorstep. "Braiding Sweetgrass" is one of my all-time favourite books, so I look forward to digging into this one. @indigenousauthors #TwoEyedSeeing #Ecology #CNF #Indigenous #science #RobinWallKimmerer #ServiceBerry #Bookstodon #botany

#MustWatch for fans of #RobinWallKimmerer, author of Braiding #Sweetgrass and Gathering #Moss (a new book coming soon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7nsOAYNgKs
I didn't see it yet myself. I had been sad that she was live in #KewGardens and me in France, but just found out that the event exists as a video! And 5x15 Stories is always a good recommendation for fascinating people. Soon they will bring Merlin Sheldrake as a highlight! https://www.5x15.com/events/merlin-sheldrake-live-at-royal-botanic-gardens-kew

New on my personal blog, Walking in December: Of Mosses and Memories. Noticed something interesting about the growth pattern of the mosses in the nearby park.
