Robin Wall Kimmerer shared a beautiful message about plants as persons at the joint Society for Economic Botany and Society of Ethnobiology meeting. I reflect on this concept.
At the risk of sounding a bit loony: I have a tree that I communicate with. I can feel the exchange of energy when I touch its trunk. A friend confessed that she has a tree that she talks to, and gets answers from that she feels in her heart. I wonder, do other people do this? I think it would be good if they tried.
I talk to plants all the time. It’s all about connecting with nature through touch, sight, sound, smell. It makes me feel more connected with the world and I wish more people did it.
I so enjoyed the keynote on Sunday and wished U could have been there the whole week. It’s so great to be there on campus and hear so much information backing what so many people have known for so long. Thank you for bringing this amazing conference here. Look forward to more in the future.
