The Earth provides sustenance and spiritual nourishment from "summary" of Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
The Earth offers us sustenance in every mouthful. When you sit down to eat, know that it is the Earth who feeds you. The food on your plate is a gift, a manifestation of the Earth's generosity. But it is not just physical nourishment that the Earth provides; it is also spiritual sustenance. When you eat with gratitude, you are not just filling your belly; you are nourishing your soul. We are connected to the Earth in a profound way. Our bodies are made of the same elements as the Earth, and our destinies are intertwined. When we take care of the Earth, we are taking care of ourselves. When we show gratitude for the gifts that the Earth provides, we are acknowledging our place in the web of life. The Earth is not just a source of sustenance; it is also a source of wisdom. The plants, animals, and elements that make up the Earth have much to teach us if we are willing to listen. When we spend time in nature, we can learn valuable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and interconnectedness. The Earth is a teacher, a guide, a source of wisdom that can help us navigate the complexities of our lives. To truly appreciate the gifts that the Earth provides, we must approach them with humility and reverence. We must remember that we are not the masters of the Earth; we are its guests. We must tread lightly on the land, treating it with respect and gratitude. When we approach the Earth with humility and reverence, we open ourselves up to its gifts in a deeper and more meaningful way. The Earth is a source of sustenance and spiritual nourishment, offering us food for our bodies and wisdom for our souls. When we recognize the Earth's gifts and approach them with gratitude and humility, we can deepen our connection to the natural world and find true nourishment for both body and spirit.
