The Intelligence in All Forms of Life (Robin Wall Kimmerer)
Robin Wall Kimmerer, botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation --
On biodiversity:
"Why is the world so beautiful?"
On two ways of living:
"Science polishes the gift of seeing.
Indigenous traditions work with the gifts of listening and language.
On the scientific study of plants:
"What was supposedly important about them was their mechanism, not what their gifts were, they were thought of as objects -- whereas i thought of them as subjects."
