Emergence Magazine: Serviceberry – the Economy of Abundance.
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
Robin Wall Kimmerer is a beautiful person. Whenever I read something she’s written, it is like a knock at my inner home door, gently opening.
For those wondering why Moss became my last name, I direct your attention to Brainpickings.
After seeing this article, I promptly went out and purchased her book. Within the first two pages, I felt stillness all throughout my body, in intense and profound presence and resonance. I then got her book, Braiding Sweetgrass, which is a phenomenal text on our connection with the earth.
Recently, after I posted this, I discovered a new article that she recently put together for Emergence Magazine: Serviceberry – the Economy of Abundance.
“Gratitude is so much more than a polite thank you. It is the thread that connects us in a deep relationship, simultaneously physical and spiritual, as our bodies are fed and spirits nourished by the sense of belonging, which is the most vital of foods. Gratitude creates a sense of abundance, the knowing that you have what you need. In that climate of sufficiency, our hunger for more abates and we take only what we need, in respect for the generosity of the giver.”
Take a moment, each day, and kiss something in your life. Be mindfully grateful. The list of abundance is astonishing and humbling. When we recognize value in what we already have, want and disappointment disappear.
I urge you to read, engross, and follow Robin Wall Kimmerer in whatever way aligns with you.
