Honey Hive of Mendocino

Beautiful article from Robin Wall Kimmerer about the gift economy and indigenous wisdom of reciprocity. "This abundance of berries feels like a pure gift from t...he land. I have not earned, paid for, nor labored for them. There is no mathematics of worthiness that reckons I deserve them in any way. And yet here they arealong with the sun and the air and the birds and the rain, gathering in the towers of cumulonimbi. You could call them natural resources or ecosystem services, but the Robins and I know them as gifts. We both sing gratitude with our mouths full." See more

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to see and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi
