"If our leaders won't do the right thing we have to do the right thing." She's correct. We cannot depend on elected officials. It's time for us to step up.
I appreciate so much how Robin take us into a loving reciprocal mindset which is what is needed to understand our relationship with Mother Earth, the 2 leggeds, the 4 leggeds, the tree people, the winged ones, and the soft and beautiful mosses. Without this understanding we are left with despair and frustration. Robin gives me hope.And we all make a difference. Respect is the key. I have learned so much from indigenous scientists.....
She has so many powerful and empowering words! "despair is a way of accepting powerlessness". See ourselves as brothers [and sisters] of creation instead of masters of creation. Watch this and share with your friends and other human people.
what a powerful note from Dr. Kimmerer to end the conversation, thank you for this interview and for the thoughts and feelings behind all of the questions and responses
“Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful!”
@14:45 'This set of engraved errors that we are engaged in, I think, is transitory - it has to be. If anything, if we really were in the age of the anthropocene, the age of the viruses would fix that in a hurry.' ( *coronavirus enters the chat*)
"I think the age of the viruses would fix that..." Dr. Kimmerer, you are a gift. Thank you.

Braiding Sweetgrass is a brilliant book. Every chapter leaves you feeling like you know what it's like to be loved unconditionally.
Beautiful. Thank you
“What does Earth need from us” vs “how do we fix this?” - reframes everything.
Dr. Kimmerer is an incredible speaker and botanist. Her students are very fortunate to have such a bright and holistic mind helping them grow.
Wise words 🌲 🌳 💞

“If our leaders won’t do the right thing, we have to do the right thing.” 28:00 We have to say, “I will fiercely defend.” 31:50
I love her heartfelt words of wisdom. I love her books, I am so grateful for her and love her. What a great conversation and SO important!
As the tears well up in her eyes, I feel I can see the future reflecting in them. A woman's tears hold powerful seeds.
Thank you for sharing.

This is real wisdom. Thank you Robin.

If corporations are people then the land should have the same rights and a seat at the table
beautiful, thank you ・*˚⁺

I think Simone Weil begs to differ. I think she’d say that its through despair that you can find grace.

We have to do the right thing. It is Emenrgent Theory.
Beautiful woman even though she's older.
