Tales of Sweetgrass & Trees: Robin Wall Kimmerer & Richard Powers with T...

Readers aware that RantWoman is conducting a month-long binge blog are invited to meditate particularly on how the topics below relate to National Disabilities Employment Awareness Month, #NDEAM, #NDEAM2020, Pedestrian Safety Month #PedestrianSafetyMonth, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pleae be assured, RantWoman can get there easily though not concisely!

 

Readers interested in meditations about why it matters no matter whether the context is work, volunteer activity, or small organization, to have access to the same content as everyone else even if it comes in alternate formats, please be aware that RantWoman has an excellent tirade available about this topic as well.

 

Readers who see the word “eternal” in the query below and think RantWoman may be being just a little bit TOO eternal, PLEASE hold RantWoman in the Light. RantWoman  is easing into dealing with a medical issue. RantWoman also continues to pray to be delivered, liberated of numerous inappropriate prayers with respect to #CoronaPalooza at the White House or at least to have sentiments magically translated into well-centered Quakerese. RantWoman STILL after all these years does not particularly have a God as Personal Butler model of Divine Presence, though, so everyone gets to do the best we can…

 

 

Query from Last week:— When traditional Quaker queries ask: “Are you learning to know one another in that which is Eternal?," what does that mean to you and how do you answer it? (Query based on queries of Illinois Yearly Meeting)

 

The Book Group

At our next session on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 1 pm, The Uprooting Racism Book Group will discuss the book Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings ofPlants, by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

 

As a supplement to the book, Friends may want to look at some of the many interviews with Robin Wall Kimmerer available on YouTube. This one, The Teaching of the Grass, is suggested by Erica Schweizer. Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89715738514?pwd=L3Rma1pBQWMrQWsza1RzUFUvSmRQZz09
