Jo’s thoughts on reading the June Digging Deeper book selection

This month's book "Braiding Sweetgrass" is beautiful and soothing.  The author is such an eclectic person who embodies so much: author, scientist, native American, and more.  It is wonderful to read how she braids all these aspects of herself and her history together.  Hope you are enjoying the book too.

I will not host a Zoom meeting this month, but will be back in July.

This month’s reading:

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants (2015) by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Information from the Barnes & Noble website:

As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).
