Robin Wall Kimmerer

The gift economy is a circle, not a line.

We are showered every day with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep.

In a gift economy, abundance is generated by sharing.

The earth loves us back with her gifts.

Gifts create a bond between giver and receiver.

When we take only what we need, there is enough for everyone.

The problem is that we have forgotten how to hear the language of other beings.

Gratitude is the doorway to abundance.

To be indigenous is to be of a place.

Reciprocity is the way of the Earth.

In the circle of life, we are all connected.

A gift is something for which we do not have to pay.
