Thank you, Sue.

β€œThe story of Braiding Sweetgrass centres around the concept of taking responsibility for life's creation in a harmony of responsibility, reciprocity and respect. It honours the life-giving attributes of generosity and gratitude where we join together in a cyclical movement of give and take.”

.

Gratitude, generosity and respect ✊!

Give and take.

Circulation.

All the things in nature are together in one place.

Each thing is moved by nature’s pattern.

Signals give direction.

The whole divides in to parts. 🧬

The parts move around and in and out of each other.

Like water flowing in rivers πŸ’¦ and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor πŸ’¨ and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.

The water flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.

Every part is circulating, round and round. πŸ’«β˜„οΈπŸͺβ›ˆοΈπŸ¦ πŸ§¬πŸŒͺ️

Things unFold 🌱 then enFold πŸ‚ .

Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩

because each part belongs

to the ONE whole conscious cosmic song 🎻 and dance πŸ’ƒπŸ».

On my goodness, how beautiful is this - thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed my Braiding Sweetgrass post. It is such a wonderful book, full of treasures and everything you have mentioned here that makes Nature so perfect. I love the idea of nurturing reciprocal relationships with Mother Nature as we grow and will be writing about this next. Enjoy your day and sending so much love to you!

Sue, "Braiding Sweetgrass" always flies out of my mouth when asked about my favorite books. I love both the physical version as well as the audiobook, which is narrated by Robin. It is such a gem of a book and you have done it justice in your post. Thank you! πŸŒΏπŸ’š
