"I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real, to see daylilies and swimming pools, loyalty and devotion, even though my eyes were closed and all that surrounded me was a darkened room. I wrote because that's who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible." (Alice Hoffman, August 2000)

The cosmos is filled with precious gems.
I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.

Each moment you are alive is a gem,
shining through and containing earth and sky,
water and clouds.

It needs you to breathe gently
for the miracles to be displayed.

Suddenly you hear the birds singing,
the pines chanting,
see the flowers blooming,
the blue sky,
the white clouds,

{and...}
the smile and the marvelous look
of your beloved.

You, the richest person on Earth,
who have been going around begging for a living,
stop being the destitute child.
Come back and claim your heritage.
We should enjoy our happiness
and offer it to everyone.
Cherish this very moment.
Let go of the stream of distress
and embrace life fully in your arms.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Our Teacher page for Thich Nhat Hanh is a great resource ... and as is typical of our Teacher pages, it provides a comprehensive view about his background, and work.

This poem is from "Call Me By My True Names" The Collected Poems of Thich Nhat Hanh.

Braiding Sweetgrass Summary

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

Called the work of "a mesmerizing storyteller with deep compassion and memorable prose" (Publishers Weekly) and the book that, "anyone interested in natural history, botany, protecting nature, or Native American culture will love," by Library Journal, Braiding Sweetgrass is poised to be a classic of nature writing. As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer asks questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces indigenous teachings that consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. 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). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.

Braiding Sweetgrass Reviews

"Robin Wall Kimmerer is writer of rare grace. She writes about the natural world from a place of such abundant passion that one can never quite see the world the same way after having seen it through Kimmerer's eyes. She is a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world." -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things

About Robin Wall Kimmerer

Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, a scientist, a decorated professor, and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. A SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, she lives in Fabius, NY.

Wow

Just listened to the episode on Ceremony and...wow. It actually feels healing-like sitting at the kitchen table with trusted friends. Hearing stories of healing, hearing elders share their learning. This podcast is for everyone. Thank you for this generous offering, your openness and your faith in people, that you messages would be received. Thank you.

This podcast is for everybody

Whether you're indigenous or not, I feel that this podcast is very important and I am very appreciative of the hosts vulnerability and passion. They also interview amazing guests that I have learned so much from. Grateful for this podcast and the knowledge they share. Please give it a listen!

audience

It feels like it's for a Cree or Cree/Métis audience. I love it! I don't have to pause my thinking for background information for the benefit of a non-Cree or Cree/Métis person. I can relate to everyone's stories and even some of their characteristics! Lol - thank you for doing this podcast for us!

The strength an wisdom this four legged being holds is the same that I must have within myself in persevering through healing my traumas. The buffalo is  a sacred animal which walks through the storms head on. They set examples for myself to persevere through my storms of growth so that I may come out of the storm with more wisdom, knowledge, compassion an faith. To trust my footsteps when my seed is cracking and growing within me of that shell I’ve neglected to water an love.
Nourishment an Courage to have that seed of my spirit an physical being grow will be a Beauty of myself an my gift to connecting with all my Relations as I walk strong in climbing my mountain.

I like my own poems best.

I quote from them from time to time saying, “A poet once said,”and then follow up with a line or two from one of my own poems appropriate to the event.

How those lines sing!

All that wisdom and beauty!

Why it tickles my ass off its spine.

“Why those lines are mine!”I say and Jesus, what a bang I get out of it.

I like the ideas in them,my poems,ideas that hit home.

They speak to me.

I mean, I understand what the hell the damn poet’s talking about.

“Why I’ve been there,the same thing,” I shout,and Christ!

What a shot it is,a shot.

And hey,The words!Whew!

I can hardly stand it.

Words sure do not fail this guy, I say.

From some world only he knows he bangs the bong, but I can feel it in the wood,in the wood of the word,rising to its form in the world.

“Now, you gotta be good to do that!”

I say and damn!

It just shakes my heart,you know?

This picture inspires me,  it defines resilience. I think about a system of interconnected roots supporting each other beneath the concrete. I wonder if someone planted seeds in the cracks or whether life just finds a way to squeeze through the narrowest of places. It’s beautiful either way. These flowers are my neighborhood,  a community of immigrants who have endured the harshest environments yet thrived through it all, a beautiful hue of color reaching for the sky on a corner that would normally go unnoticed. These flowers are me too. The me that sometimes catches people by surprise, the me who grew up amongst concrete yet gravitates towards beauty. These flowers are my grandparents who transformed their circumstances and gave life to many more blossoms, each generation stronger than the last. These flowers are worthy of a picture and a story that like mine longs to be told.

It’s beside me everywhere I go; in case it dings or rings not ever knowing what’s on the other side. My emotions have been on high like the eye in the sky of an eagle watching for what may move. The word pandemic is a mental state of fear a loss of control for power of ones thoughts controlled. Taking notes an writing each moment  so I don’t forget someone’s story cause we all matter. Staying spiritually grounded every day continuously cleansing off a story I may have attached to my body. The love and compassion for our community is like me standing by the ocean sometimes the waves come crashing in and soak my entire being; when all the while I’m standing there trying to keep myself from drowning. Then the waves settle and it’s like waiting for the next big wave and taking time to breathe and to pray. Remembering I’m here to be a servant of Creator as I can lend my extra hand or foot to help my brothers or sisters in their guidance of the word Pandemic. We are all Blessed Now Stay Blessed.
