Mushrooms lifting a metal strip off the ground! The strip is screwed into the concrete on the left, and to the right outside the frame!

I learnt reading Robin Wall #Kimmerer ‘s book Democracy of Species that the Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) word “puhpowee” refers to “the force which causes mushrooms to push up from the earth overnight”.

What #puhpowee these soft beings have! After they save our minds from the #apocalypse they will reclaim the land from cities!

‘puhpowee… translates as ‘the force which causes mushrooms to push up from the earth overnight.’

From The Democracy of Species by Robin Wall Kimmerer

I love this quote it helps me focus on finding that point in teaching where you help the student push through a challenge and into the a new world of possibilities that new learning brings. Puhpowee!
