Additional quotes by Robin Wall Kimmerer

If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.

For grief can also be comforted by creation, by rebuilding the homeland that was taken. The fragments, like ash splints, can be rewoven into a new whole.

Doing science with awe and humility is a powerful act of reciprocity with the more-than-human world.
