Thanks Katherine, makes me want to rest in it's soft embrace. Definitely going to read that book, I just finished her Braiding Sweetgrass which was beautiful and had tears falling for the love of plants
Thnx for the fascinating lessons of humble moss from robin wall kimmerer
Humans don t seem wired that way they seem bent on empire from ancient times through today empire always comes at horrific expense of other humans and nature and is never sustainable
But it is often sustainable enough—for several centuries to a millenia or so—that we try it again and again
I sure hope we can become mossier but i think it s likely to take a truly calamitous shock to the system
Hope i am wrong And the beginning of kimmermer s braided sweet grass is inspiring where she contrasts the origin theories of native americans with our own genesis story of human domination But we genesis guys sure squashed the gentler kinder aborigenals no?
To try and atone for this dark sermon i should note i just spent three days filming migrating monarch butterflies and shorebirds amid a midatlantic paradise of protected barrier islands and saltmarsh blue waters and golden spartinas
And sand dunes dripping with goldenrod whose nectar will fuel the butterflies all the way to mexico
Yes, I find that believing the tide is turning gives me vital energy... and also helps turn the tide. And I think continued shocks are an inevitable part of the process!
Thanks for sharing, Tom, and for leaving us with this gorgeous image of "sand dunes dripping with goldenrod whose nectar will fuel the butterflies all the way to mexico." 🤗

Awww, thanks for sharing Emi! I love how Kimmerer can provoke such Deep feelings for the life all around us.
I saw your comment yesterday, before I visited that spot at Puente Roto — I sat with some moss there on the edge of the river in your honor :)
Beautiful, Katherine!
Thank you Katherine for the eloquent ode to moss. So loving and lovely.
I am the crazy moss lady in my neighborhood, and I now have a new appreciation for this year's chipmunk invasion. Mwah.
Haha, love it — and I know you're proud to hold that title!
Maybe they'll start a moss patch in the house 🐿 😅
Thanks for taking the time to share ❤️
