Robin Wall Kimmerer: The Serviceberry (AudiobookFormat, Simon & Schuster Audio)

A pleasant rumination

No rating

I'm already in the bag on this one. Heck, I even harvest serviceberries. Though if I'd had this on my journey maybe I would have come along faster. Very different than "The Overstory" but a similar political vibe, questioning the sensibility of capitalism by comparing to ecosystems and how Indigenous economies have operated for millenia.

I gave my left kidney to a stranger last year and this book would explain it to people who don't understand why. Essentially: I store my surplus organ in my brother's abdomen.
