acción de gracias braiding sweetgrass haudenosaunee robin wall kimmerer thanksgiving leave a comment how human people are only one manifestation of intelligence in the universe posted on november 8 2021 by pancho by robin wall kimmerer as it appeared in this article from yes magazine the intelligence of plants has long been a theme of literature philosophy and indigenous narrative scientific research into the chemical interactions between plant species and other living things supports the idea in the mind of plants narratives of vegetal intelligence writers and scientists add their personal perspectives in a rich collection of essays and poems each dedicated to a different plant in white pine excerpted here robin wall kimmerer describes indigenous reverence for trees which are respected as unique sovereign beings equal to or exceeding the power of humans when i come beneath the pines into that particular dappled light time slows and i fall under their spell my science brain and my intuitive brain are both alight with knowing is it the spaciousness of the leafy vaulted ceiling maybe the terpenoids in pine vapors exert a psychological influence producing an altered state of tranquil alertness perhaps it s the quivering energy of electrical micro discharge from the needles maybe we are humbled simply by their size is it the sound of boughs rising and falling like slow breathing there s something there we sense but cannot name a feeling akin to sitting quietly in the presence of an elder so it is with pines you want to slip into their circle and listen my favorite place to read on a summer day is leaning against the bole of a big old white pine there s almost always a hollow there upholstered in a coppery brocade of pine needles with comfy armrests of the buttressed roots which hold up the pillar of pine rising two hundred feet above me these piney points above the lake s water are beloved in the north woods for the sand and granite below sun and wind above and a view across the lake which at this moment is dancing up white caps in the breeze in this woodland library i have one book on my lap and the other against my back one written on cellulose one written in cellulose when i sit with white pines i wordlessly come to know things that i didn t know before white pine is revered across indigenous cultures as a symbol of wisdom longevity and of peace they are thanked for their material gifts of medicine materials fuel and food and for their spiritual gifts pines are understood as among our oldest teachers in fact they are of an ancient lineage in the tree world and have seen much change across the earth among some people white pine is regarded as the ogema of the forest the seat of leadership the pine like all trees is spoken of in my anishinaabe language not as an object an it but as a who a person of some standing whose name is zhingwak charismatic white pines are honored as elders they are the esteemed companions of the visionary eagle who uses their emergent canopy as nest and watchtower zhingwak plays many roles in the canon of native stories as a protector of human people and the embodiment of highest virtues known as the tree of peace white pine is the iconic symbol of the five nations of the haudenosaunee iroquois confederacy who taught the people peace through unity by its five soft needles bound together as one the tallest strongest most enduring being in the forest is the botanical representation of the oldest democracy on the planet traditional cultures who sit beneath the white pines recognize that human people are only one manifestation of intelligence in the living world other beings from otters to ash trees are understood as persons possessed of their own gifts responsibilities and intentions this is not some kind of mistaken anthropomorphism trees are not misconstrued as leaf wearing humans but respected as unique sovereign beings equal to or exceeding the power of humans

2021 by awakinoak by joy harjo photo by simone busatto once the world was perfect and we were happy in that world then we took it for granted discontent began a small rumble in the earthly mind then doubt pushed through with its spiked head and once doubt ruptured the web all manner of demon thoughts jumped through we destroyed the world we had been given for inspiration for life each stone of jealousy each stone of fear greed envy and hatred put out the light no one was without a stone in his or her hand there we were right back where we had started we were bumping into each other in the dark and now we had no place to live since we didn t know how to live with each other then one of the stumbling ones took pity on another and shared a blanket a spark of kindness made a light the light made an opening in the darkness everyone worked together to make a ladder a wind clan person climbed out first into the next world and then the other clans the children of those clans their

vaughan lee post as it appeared in emergence magazine witnessing a growing wasteland llewellyn vaughan lee seeks the threshold that could bring us back to the place where the land sings to a deep ecology of consciousness that returns our awareness to a fully animate world i like to walk early and am often alone on the beach the ocean and the birds my only companions the tiny sanderlings running back and forth chasing the waves some days the sun rising over the headlands makes a pathway of golden light to the shore today the fog was dense and i could just see two figures walking in the distance until they vanished into the mist leaving a pair of footprints in the sand until the incoming tide washed them away it made me wonder what will remain in a hundred years when my grandchildren s grandchildren are alive will the rising sea have covered the dunes climate crisis will by then be a constant partner and so many of today s dramas will be lost in a vaster landscape of primal change sensing this reshaping of the seashore where the waves roll in from across the pacific makes my mind stretch across horizons how this land and our own lives have evolved one story of science says it was only seventy thousand years ago that humans left africa on their long migrations across continents arriving here on the pacific coast just thirteen thousand years ago when the bering strait was dry land and not ocean or possibly they came earlier in boats down the coast 1 but how was life then long before the written word when we traveled as small groups communities of hunters and gatherers what was the consciousness of our ancestors before agriculture long before cities or our industrial way of life and what did we lose as we settled the land and then forgot it was sacred they may have carried few possessions but their consciousness contained a close relationship to the land to its plants and animals to the patterns of the weather and the seasons which they needed for their survival fully awake with all of their senses they had a knowing passed down through generations of living close to the ground even as they migrated across the continent today we are mostly far from the land and its diverse inhabitants cut off from these roots we have become more stranded than we realize and while our oncoming climate crisis may present us with many problems we hardly know how to reconnect to return our consciousness to the living earth it is as if having traveled to the far corners of our planet we now find ourselves in an increasing wasteland without knowing how to return to where the rivers flow to where the plants grow wild and unlike our ancestors we cannot just pack up and move on because this wasteland surrounds us wherever we look like the increasing mounds of plastic and other toxic material we leave in our wake and sadly tragically our consciousness has become divorced not just from the land under our feet but also from the unseen worlds that surround us anyone who looks at the animals in the paleolithic cave paintings in southern france with a receptive awareness can see that the physical and spirit world are infused together those early artists were imaging not just physical animals but spirit beings shamanic magical this is part of their mystery and intensity and this knowing continued for thousands of years whether experienced in relation with the powerful beings that for the native americans are present in all natural things invisible but everywhere or expressed through veneration of the kami the sacred spirits that exist in nature mountains rivers earthquakes thunder animals and people which until recently belonged to an elemental japanese consciousness 2 for most of our history the inner and outer worlds were woven together as shown in the myths and stories that defined our existence have we wandered so far from the source that we cannot return walking the shoreline watching the little birds searching for insects my awareness drawn to the sky the sea and the shifting sands i wonder at this gulf between the simple magical awareness of our ancestors and our present day mind as cluttered as our consumer world what has happened to our consciousness now divorced from the multidimensional existence that used to sustain us did we need to exile ourselves from this primal place of belonging and now as we tear apart the web of life with our machines and images of progress is there a calling to return to open the door that has been closed by our rational selves when the fog is dense and you can only see a few yards in front of your feet the world around becomes more elemental watching each wave come to the shore is like wat...
