Another gem from Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The way to harvest, the way to garden, the way to reap, is with respect. Understand the plant. Don't desecrate it by harming new growth. Help vegetation grow. Don't take more than you need. Here are a few common-sense rules:
Never take the last.
Never take more than you need.
Don't do any harm.
Don't waste.
Share.
Give thanks.
Sustain what sustains you.
