Shift of paradise

Yesterday, I started reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Phenomenal. That lady got me shifted in the introduction already! Sharing the indigenous story of Skywoman, she memorizes the difference between Skywoman, who fell into paradise and Eve, who was kicked out of paradise. It made me wonder whether all our drift to colonize this planet stems from the trauma of being banned long ago (even if not consciously raised with that story).

This will take me a wine or two… to be continued!
