People often ask me what one thing I would recommend to restore relationship between land and people. My answer is almost always, ‘Plant a garden.’ … Something essential happens in a vegetable garden. It’s a place where if you can’t say ‘I love you’ out loud, you can say it in seeds. And the land will reciprocate, in beans. - Chapter 12, pages 126–127
Epiphany in the beans. Ch. 12 of #BraidingSweetgrass 🌿
Oh, my heart. Full of heart-songs, truths, and a spine-tingling ache for dirt under nails and deep rhythm with the Earth.
How good it is to long for something this real.
