Braiding Sweetgrass has become my favorite book. I go back to it over and over. If you haven't listened to Robin Wall Kimmerer read it aloud, it is worth it. Just hearing her voice calms me. This part in particular resonates deeply:
"Language is our gift and our responsibility. I've come to think of writing as an act of reciprocity with the living land. Words to remember old stories, words to tell the new, stories that bring science and spirit back together..." p.347
Braiding Sweetgrass is such a gift. I imagine I'll return to it regularly, if not once a year at least once every few years. Have you read anything else she's writteN?

I have Gathering Moss but haven't read it yet. I have listened to several interviews and presentations she has given.
Interviewed on OnBeing: https://onbeing.org/programs/robin-wall-kimmerer-the-intelligence-of-plants-2022/
