Everything on your table today came from Earth. Most likely, so did your table and the chair upon which you sat.

When I see that little figure on your table- I feel so very close to you.
Yes, everything on my table comes from Earth. And what does not– then I should try to have less or none at all of that going forward. It’s tomorrow and I need to go to bed now.LikeLike

Thinking of yesterday, a day of Thanks and giving depending on your point of view. Deb G wrote on her blog yesterday of reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. grace responded to Deb’s post by asking for a quote from the book:

I read this book last year and re-read it again this summer. Each time, the wisdom that shines forth holds and each time, I pick up something that I had not discovered/felt before. These words below I had held from the first reading. Reading them again, goes even deeper:
“Generosity is simultaneously a moral and a material imperative, especially among people who live close to the land and know of plenty and scarcity. When the well being of one is linked to the well being of all, wealth among traditional people is measured by having enough to give away. In a culture of gratitude, everyone knows that gifts will follow the cycle of reciprocity and flow back to you again. This time you give and the next time, you receive. Both the honor of giving and receiving are necessary halves of the equation. The grass in the ring is trodden down in a path from gratitude to reciprocity. We dance in a circle, not a line.”LikeLike
