Sweetgrass

One of my work stations for a couple months gives me some time to sit and read if there aren't a lot of people around.
I've been reading a beautiful book called "Braiding Sweetgrass."
It's about an American Indian woman who went to school to become a scientist, and she ends up blending her scientific training with her traditional respect for life.
When I'm sitting at my station, I want to read more of this book, but the book makes me want to look out over the grass and watch the reindeer, clouds, and the songbirds and listen to the rain fall.
In a plain grass field there is so much to see (even if there aren't reindeer living on it).
