Reciprocity Mural

Inspired by the words of Robin Wall Kimmerer from the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, we landed on the mural title.

We are all bound by a covenant of reciprocity: plant breath for animal breath, winter and summer, predator and prey, grass and fire, night and day, living and dying. Water knows this, clouds know this. Soil and rocks know they are dancing in a continuous giveaway of making, unmaking, and making again the earth.
