The serviceberry tree has been proving it for 50 million years.
New Heliox episode: The Gift Economy of the Serviceberry
The Lifeboat AcademyThe gift has always moved between living things without requiring a theory of generosity to do so — and what loosens in a person who receives something unearned isn't gratitude exactly, but the slow release of a story about the world that was never quite true.

Some traditions hold that being found by something — a plant mid-path, a bird landing closer than usual, an encounter that arrives without your seeking — is not accident but the world reaching toward you, and you, you were able to stay with the contact itself — the brief sense that something met you, and that you were, in that moment, able to meet it.

We run on the same unspoken rules without noticing they're rules: effort in, result out; do enough of the right things, earn the reward.
Some things move by completely different rules — arriving unbidden, owing nothing to what you've put in or deserved. A different way of reading what's already circulating.

Hans_RutarWir Naturführer/innen erzählen bei unserer Touren Geschichten. Dazu passen die Zeilen , die ich gerade lese:
„Wir müssen die alten Geschichten ausgraben, die einen Ort mit Leben erfüllen, und neue schaffen, denn wir sind auch Geschichtenschreiber, nicht nur Geschichtenerzähler. Alle Geschichten hängen miteinander zusammen, neue werden aus den Fäden der alten gewoben.
Aus „geflochtenes Süßgras“ von Robin Wall Kimmerer

"On Friday, 3/20/26, we gather as a movement for our second Plant Circle. We mark the vernal equinox together with poetry, a botany lesson from Robin, and rich conversations with friends.
Our special guest this spring is Sean Sherman, an Oglala Lakota chef, educator, and activist. Known to many as The Sioux Chef, Sean is revitalizing Indigenous food systems across Turtle Island through his cooking, writing, and teaching. Our Plant Circle also features an inspiring conversation with Brooklyn Rewilders about bringing nature’s gift economy into our cities."

penpencilbrush🇨🇦I look for doses of sanity to counter all the insanity the political oilygarch classes are feeding us.
An hour of Robin Wall Kimmerer is today's investment in sanity. She's a wonderful speaker.
Highly recommend her books:

Braiding Sweetgrass
