Happy Thanksgiving (in the US)

 

I hope this link works...Robin Wall Kimmerer shares "Corn Tastes Better On The Honor System" with Emergence Magazine. HERE.

If you're not familiar with Robin Wall Kimmerer, I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite authors. 

Emergence says this:

As we approach Thanksgiving this year, we are sharing one of our favorite features: “Corn Tastes Better on the Honor System,” by Potawatomi mother, scientist, and professor Robin Wall Kimmerer, with intricate illustrations and stop-motion animations made of hand-folded paper, by Suus Hessling. Taking us through maize’s nine-thousand-year history, Robin reflects on the ancient circle of reciprocity and collaboration that links this plant with humans, and considers what has been severed in this once deeply sacred relationship.

      I was planning a veggie feast on my own, and then a friend invited me to "non-traditional" celebration this evening. I will be grateful to share a meal she has prepared. My tofurky will wait till tomorrow, or the next day. I'm hoping to make phone contacts with my three sons and families.
