The Teachings of Grass
How do we relate to the land that sustains us--as a source of belonging
or as a source of belongings? As the planet teeters on the brink of
environmental collapse, botanist, teacher, and author Robin Wall
Kimmerer urges us to consider our broken relationship to the Earth and
the hard choices that lie before us by examining the history of her
Potawatomi ancestors. Through cultivating the sense of respect and
gratitude for nature inherent in indigenous teachings, Kimmerer invites
us to reclaim that wisdom and renew our earthly relationships to restore
honor in the way we live. By rejecting the notion of nature as
supplier, taking only those gifts that are freely given, the power of
the sun, the blowing wind and the rolling surf, we have an opportunity
to model ancient pathways and create a new sustainable vision for the
living world.
