β€œBeing a good mother means teaching your children to care for the world.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer
β€œWhy is the world so beautiful? is a question that we all ought to be embracing.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer
β€œPeople can’t understand the world as a gift unless someone shows them how it’s a gift.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer
β€œWe spill over into the world and the world spills over into us. The earth, that first among good mothers, gives us the gift that we cannot provide ourselves.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer
β€œEven a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
