“Plants were here first and have had a long time to figure things out. They live both above and below ground and hold the earth in place. Plants know how to make food from light and water. Not only do they feed themselves, but they can make enough to sustain the lives of all the rest of us. Plants are providers for the rest of the community and exemplify the virtue of generosity.”
