Went out yesterday and found chanterelles, wood sorrel, and wild garlic within a 20-minute walk of my house. Made a simple pasta with all three. It costs nothing and tastes like the forest distilled. The identification process forces you to slow down and really look at what is growing around you. Post: [Signe's forage](https://instagram.com/p/example_forage)

The Earth is already offering. You only have to learn to see what she puts in front of you.
There is something that happens when you eat a berry still warm from the sun, or brew a tea from a leaf you gathered yourself that morning. The body recognizes it. Something settles. You begin to understand that your own hunger, listened to carefully, is a kind of knowing.
What grows near you is not random. It belongs to that place, and when you eat it, a little of that place enters you. That is the oldest medicine there is.
