the way i Forgot about this book is insane... anyway similar thoughts as lauren HAHA

finished tending sweetgrass..!

"We are showered everyday with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep. Their life is in their movement, the inhale and exhale of our shared breath. Our work and our joy is to pass along the gift and to trust that what we put out into the universe will always come back."

finished planting sweetgrass! fell off this book a while bc i was busy chasing libby deadlines... always great to calm tf down and read this. truly healing

OK I STARTED!
skywoman falling: super cool start, already making me think and feel a lot of ways about our relationship with nature and the earth. interesting take on eve as "an exile, just passing through an alien world on a real road to her real home in heaven" also credited as the reason some humans treat nature as below them. bc in islam, though this world is indeed just a test, we have to take care of it too.
