I honestly find this book a little bit hard to write about because it just needs to be read. I think everyone could benefit from reading this book and looking at the ways that they can bring these teachings into their daily lives.
I had so many takeaways and tabbed this book so that I could come back again and again to pieces that struck me. Three pieces that have stuck with me the most are one, looking to the gifts that nature has given to us and finding the ways that we can give thanks and live in reciprocity for those gifts. Second, that all flourishing is mutual. And third, that writing is one gift that humanity can give back to the world. As someone who feels a call to write, reading about how Kimmerer approaches writing was refreshing and inspiring.
This is one of my favorite books that I have read all year. It perfectly mixes heartfelt teachings with a realistic look at how we are treating the environment. I will be taking these teachings into my daily life and look forward to returning to this book again and again.
