As we learn more & more about our Earth & each other, we understand better our interdependence with our world and every being in it … And as we do so, we begin to see that the best way to express this innate & perfect interdependence is to live for Giving; in a culture based in Compassion; with every being free & every being equal in the sight of all; all working together for the good of ALL.

And, while such a wholesome & selfless mentality does lead us to strive a bit harder every day to see that Justice is done and that Kindness prevails, it is exactly this Great Work that makes us most free, and it is exactly this Great Work that makes us most alive.

Indeed, when all is said & done, no hierarchy is worth acknowledging but this one: that the more we Respect other species and the more we Respect the planet they call Home, the greater our own lives become.

(inspired by Kim Stanley Robinson)
