Thank you!

Thank you. Beautiful wisdom. I'm currently listening to the wonderful narration of Braiding Sweetgrass and at times am emotionally blown away by the wisdom of the language of plants interpreted by this powerful beautiful spirit. All we need to do is simply be attentive and listen and we will be awakened and liberated. Míle míle buíochas(A thousand thousand thank yous).
