Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants | 
CuriousG This is one of my favourite quotations. I am a teacher, so it speaks to me in general, but I use it with students when doing assignments that involve them seeking wisdom and knowledge from family and community members. It is such a nice way to reinforce connectedness in a population that often feels very disconnected from their community. ❤️ 1y
megnews @CuriousG I think it is becoming part of the human condition to feel alone in the world. I love anything that reminds us we are not. Others have gone or are going through the same thing. Talking with others authentically will show us this and help us find our way. (edited) 1y
CuriousG @megnews Agreed - the world does seems more disconnected now that we can essentially get what we want without ever even leaving our homes/interacting with other people. It is so important we do what we can to remind others of how much we benefit from both social contact and the wisdom of other humans. I'm guilty myself of wanting to retreat in tough times, but the reality is the connections with others are what get me through those times. 1y
