Three lessons from a weekend with "Braiding Sweetgrass" author, Robin Wall Kimmerer. “Saying ‘I have enough’ is a radical act in a consumptive society.”
"when I slow down enough to actually look at the plants around me, I remember to feel grateful for them. Gratitude is the knock-on effect of paying attention to the world."
Wow, I loved this.
And this part too: “The practice of gratitude,” Kimmerer said, “leads to a practice of self-restraint. A feeling of ‘enoughness’ is an antidote to a desire for consuming more,” she told us.
“Saying, ‘I have enough’ is a radical act in a consumptive society.”
Thanks for reading! Attention is the highest form of gratitude, someone once said!
