Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I lost count of the number of times that this book brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my arms. I feel so inspired to embrace the culture of gratitude and reciprocity. I learned a lot about indigenous culture and about the world and feel blessed with this knowledge. Robin Wall Kimmerer affirms my love for science and for nature with a writing style that feels like poetry from beginning to end. I will be reflecting on her words for many years to come. I don't say this lightly -- this will be added to my "Re-read this one day" bookshelf!
