Wonderful reminder that its the seemingly little things that offer back the biggest love. Loved hearing the elation in her voice as she describes the natural beauty that too often goes unnoticed & unloved all around us. Worth a re-listen or two.

This would have to be one of the best reads I have come across in the last two years. The insight and depth of knowledge and culture kept me wanting more. I felt I could sit and listen to Robin for hours even days just soaking up the old people’s ways and her impressive knowledge and connection. This is a must read.

Love it Warms the heart feeds the soul.

Truely beautiful

Truly a work of healing and inspiration. Listening to Robin Wall Kimmerer narrate her work is a sweet gift that gently, yet firmly, grounds the listener in contemplations of relationship, reciprocity, and restoration. I feel opened to greater depths of connection with the other than human world around me, and find her stories flowing back to me as I move through the day. So grateful for this work!

one if the most beautifully written and inspiring books I've read this year. the narrators voice is easy to listen to and adds meaning the content. this booked challenged me to be more mindful of how I love and what my relationship with creation should look like. definitely worth listening too

A lovely, warm, and evocative book about botany, Indigenous knowledge, stories, the need for reconciliation, and reciprocity with the Earth. The work provides a wonderful model of the complementarity of knowledges that Kimmerer advocates. Several friends had recommended this to me, and I will recommend it to others. It is a book that I expect to stick with me and to lead me to a shifted view of the world.
