"Witness to the Rain"

We are approaching the end of another section in Braiding Sweetgrass. "Witness to the Rain" is the final chapter of the "Braiding Sweetgrass" section of RWK's beautiful book. So let's do two things, please, in prep for Wednesday night conversation:

1) Bring some homage to rain—it can be a memory of your most memorable experience ever walking in the rain, listening to rainfall, staying inside by a fire while it rained, etc.—or a poem or piece of prose that captures something you feel about rain—or a haiku you write tomorrow morning over your coffee—or best of all, a potent rain dance! 

2) Look back over the introductory pages for each section—"Planting Sweetgrass", "Tending Sweetgrass", Picking Sweetgrass", "Braiding Sweetgrass"—for each of these sections Kimmerer includes a short preface statement.  Looking back through the book, pick one paragraph or sentence from each of these sections that for you, capture the essence of the statement that Kimmerer includes in the intro of each section.
