“Here Human treats berry as commodity”

“Cuts it down before it has ripened, offers nothing in return–as it falls, it turns to Stone.”

“Bird knows Berry as a gift–plucks it with tender gratitude, the promise of seed dispersal–so as they move, they nourish one another.”

Now is time to ask:
Which weeds can I clear to make way for strawberry’s roots and runners? How can I be patient enough to cultivate reciprocity?
