What they feel. How they communicate. You don’t need to be into plants to like this book. It’s simply letting you in in this other universe when humans are not the main character and it’s so beautiful and rewarding. Trees socialize, grow societies and children and take care of their neighbors and friends. And it’s not even a metaphor.
If I had a favorite non-real-genre of book, it would be books that have an illustrated family tree in the first pages. One Hundred Years of Solitude is the prime example of what I'm referring to. I just know that when I open a book and it sets the table with a tree, it's going to be extremely my shit. I want to know about the generations, I want to refer back to it while reading, I want to feel grounded in the knowledge that everyone is somehow related and connected.
it's a great book. I know - it's famous. Well, it is for good reason. I'm loving it right now. Inspiring. Moving. Making me cry once a chapter. Making me reconnect with my deep values in life. Good stuff.
this book permanently changed the way i view the world. it’s a book that combines the indigenous viewpoint with a more scientific one as the author is a Potawatomi botanist. it is such a beautifully written and insightful book that i’m sure you’ll enjoy even if you aren’t into all that nature/biology stuff (although that would help). 100/10 would absolutely recommend
I’m just pressing on icons randomly. Reminds me of the time I first got to use a computer, which looked the same too. I’m enjoying it.
I like it better this way.
Stack up on: chickpeas, lentils and beans.
With chickpeas you can do hummus, you can roast them and eat as a snack or serve as a side dish with anything.
Lentils are great for a quick creamy soup (you only need a carrot and an onion extra) and it’s super mega tasty. Or you make a lentils hummus and use as a spread. also lentil bread is very good!
These are cheap, high on protein and filling but also very delicious in my opinion.
Could you get a better edit?
I’m reading it now in Italian, on my kindle, and i am impressed by her style. I’m happy she wrote so many stories. In my opinion she’s a great writer, unfortunately not very popular.
