So many things I want to restack this for, great words, all of them. . I would also really recommend Braiding Sweetgrass and The Nap ministry too... Braiding Sweetgrass is my absolute favourite though, it's great on audio too Robin Wall Kimerer reads it herself and her voice is lovely... X
Yes!! I have heard of them, and I really appreciate the ideas they promote about reconnecting with nature and prioritizing rest, but I haven’t had a chance to read them yet.
They’ve been on my list, though! Would you recommend one over the other to start with?
Every word here spoke to me, but what I loved most was how the poem at the end summarized it all so beautifully. "Cinematic salvation"...holy moly what a term. And "may we trust the slow work" was soul medicine. Thank you as always Bri. Your deep work is so appreciated and important. ❤

Aww thank you so much Catherine!! I love an audio book and I have some audible credits burning a hole in my pocket. I’ll get that one right now!
Bri, this post is helpful to read in our current chaos.
The concepts reminded me of two books I enjoyed: Braiding Sweetgrass and The Nap Ministry. Have you heard of them?

To try “save the world,”
honest, humble, earnest stance.
Steadfast, not rushed fast.
...
Complex, long-standing,
deep-rooted embedded ills.
Call for tasks, not hacks.
...
Gradual partial jobs
need more workers than warriors.
Call for erosion.
...
Presence practices
still, soft, slow chipping at it.
Care, attend, link, tend.

Ohh, I’m so glad you loved the poem!! Thank you for being here Stephanie. 🥰🥰 I am so grateful for your presence.
I love your call for holding paradox and grounding into our bodies in the present moment - the only place we can do the work! 💪
It's so great to read writing that resonates so well with me. I love the blessing!
