We are nature, we are life. It is not some out there wilderness. It is inside of us and we are inside of it.
Thank you to Robin Wall Kimmerer for the words below.
“Life wants to continue.
When we look at all the damage we’ve inflicted, it is easy to believe the Earth has been broken, the land is broken; but it is our relationship with the land that’s broken and we have the power to change that.
We can choose to consume with honor from the Earth. We can choose to consume less. We can choose to understand the world as a gift and respond accordingly.
Not more policy, not more data, not more money, but a change of heart.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, biologist and member of the Potawatomi Nation
