“We are informed by the land and our bonds to a particular landscape, and in this animist universe we are connected to the plants, creatures, elements and earth spirits that dwell there. The love of the land and our community is the only true wealth we have. We are part of the Earth and the Earth is part of us.” Ancestral Wisdom Book:Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community Source: Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community
