Beautiful expression of natural phenomena as well as personal stories. Allowing you the time and space to reflect on not only their inherent meaning, but also a more subjective meaning. Whether it's a directly relatable story or one that gives you an opportunity to take a step back and look at a situation either through a new lense or for the first time. It's like taking a walk in the woods when you're surrounded by nothing but your memories.

Indigenise to thrive
6/5 stars imo
Robins' storytelling about Ingidenous ways of knowing, thinking, and being are poetically explored. Complex concepts and perceptions interwoven with science, culture, government policies, and histories. I cried and had goosebumps on so many occasions.
Thank you, Robin.

A Book That Changes How You See the World
Robin Wall Kimmerer weaves science, story, and Indigenous wisdom into something that feels like both a prayer and a guidebook for living well on this earth.
What touched me most was the emphasis on reciprocity - the reminder that the earth doesn’t just give endlessly; she asks for our care in return. As Kimmerer writes, “All flourishing is mutual.” That single line felt like the heart of the entire book.
I also loved the tender way she describes gratitude, not as an abstract idea but as a daily practice: “What else can you offer the earth, which has everything? What else can you give but your care, your full attention?” It made me think about how I move through my own days, and how much I take for granted.
The beauty of this book is how it slows you down and makes you notice. Kimmerer invites us to remember that we are not separate from nature, but part of it - that the soul and earth mirror one another when we live with respect.
This isn’t just a book to read; it’s a book to carry with you. It has permanently reshaped how I see the natural world, and how I want to walk through it. A must read. 🥲👏🏼🌿🪺🍄🩷

DNF. This was so beautifully written, and not for me. I am not a fan of this type of prose, which is a shame because it was so lyrical and amazing. I could not keep focused.

Incredible. I am an environmental engineer as my day job and already carried a sentiment of reverence for the natural systems that surround us and are part of us. And yet, the poetry and wisdom in this book moved me to tears and broke and built my spirit many times. I am considering applying to the graduate program this author teaches at. You can make a difference.
