“I had heard of many babies being born before my own was born, and I thought I knew about the miracle of birth long before I felt my own child kicking inside my tummy.  Of course, when I experienced it myself, I was in awe at how perfect, and how purposeful the process of giving birth was and is … Certainly we don’t have to give birth to know that Life is miraculous.  We can witness the complexity of each functioning system within every living body and know that all life is utterly amazing, and as such I see it as the ultimate betrayal to take it; to end another life as we somehow owned it – as if we created it – as if we live within it and experience it.  To knowingly & intentionally take a life – any life — is the ultimate selfish act. To reduce another’s Life to a mere commodity, and then place its dead carcass upon your plate, and then to consume it as if you are somehow entitled to do so; as if you somehow rule over it like you are the very God who created the intricacies of its brilliantly complex design…

 

Murdering animals is a deep, serious cut into the Core of the Soul; an insult to the Universe itself – an insult that runs deeper than our comprehension.  The animal agriculture industry is an industry of murder which has zero respect for Life, zero respect for any Life – neither the lives it takes to put “food” on your plate, nor your life when you ultimately poison your body by eating the same.

 

Such an act is an act of evil that serves only itself, and you are condoning your own Soul’s murder when consciously engaging in it.

 

To re-Member, to re-Birth, to re-Join Compassion on a level that respects every sentient being and thereby the entire Earth is a gift I don’t take lightly.  And because veganism is the Ultimate Gift in this regard, I wish for you to have it as well.

 

May we all wake up to Respect the miracle of Life.” ~ inspired by Vanessa Curley
