Ideas
The ideas expressed in this blog are rooted in my experience, but they are not new. They have been emerging throughout our culture for many years, through many different voices. If you have read or do read any of the following books, you will recognize the ideas articulated in this blog, but from different points of view. These are my primary sources. The authors and books below have influenced much of this writing. I am grateful for all of them, but especially to Robin Wall Kimmerer for “Braiding Sweetgrass” and Stephen Jenkinson for “Come of Age”.
