Hello everyone:

The quote of the week is from Robin Wall Kimmerer, from her long, beautiful essay in Emergence magazine, “The Serviceberry”:

Gratitude is so much more than a polite “thank you.” It is the thread that connects us in a deep relationship, simultaneously physical and spiritual, as our bodies are fed and spirits nourished by the sense of belonging, which is the most vital of foods. Gratitude creates a sense of abundance, the knowing that you have what you need. In that climate of sufficiency, our hunger for more abates and we take only what we need, in respect for the generosity of the giver.

As always, please remember to scroll past the end of the essay to read some curated Anthropocene news.

Now on to this week’s writing:
