This was one of the books that influenced me to go back to school for science. This seems a condensed version but really good.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

This is the second book I’ve read by ms. Kimmerer and it was no disappointment. I own the hard copy and kindle versions as well. It has taken me several years to finish this book completely and I am glad I did, when I did. Once again I find a recipe for healing that combines different ways of knowing the land. Indigenous ways, botanical ways, medicinal ways, sacred ways, shamanistic ways, philanthropic ways, the different names and ways of the biosphere. A systems science perspective on ecological restoration.
Many years ago inspired by the find of “gathering moss” I ventured into the nearby woods and immersed myself in observation. Together with another book I learned the ferns. I walked on the moss carpet. I listened to the ways of squirrels. I tracked the otters. I learned. I asked. I collected photos for my botany class. I walked with naturalists and rangers. I gathered some moss that still lives in a garden on my balcony. I became a part time outdoor educator. I went back to school for ecological restoration and environmental monitoring. I continue to try to learn. What are the medicinal compounds. How can we use them to combat this global sickness of stress and strife and inequity? I have only more questions. I have no answers. But I keep my notebooks and my photos and my notes and my drawings, I dance, I sing, I listen and I teach in hopes of effecting healing for the earth and it’s varied creatures and cultures, even if in just my little marshy, wet woodsy, second and third growth corner of the world. I thank ms. Kimmerer for getting me back in touch with the healing of nature when I needed it most. I was a Piedmont child. I am a coastal plain woman. And I’ve been fortunate to travel much across this great land… and see lake mead before this drought, and the peralta desert before it was developed, to follow my hybrid canine up the Superstition Mountains, behind Colorado waterfalls and into lake Minnetonka, for starters. All of it is beautiful. All of it is connected. All of it was colonized. And Ms Kimmerer does the service of reminding us that we are all responsible for the healing if we are to move sustainably into the future, with reciprocity. The word resonates like a healing frequency. Thank you for this moment.
