My friend Earth

First, … we are to move from a spirituality of alienation from the natural world to a spirituality of intimacy with the natural world. Second, we are to move from a spirituality of revelation through scripture to a spirituality of revelation through Earth. And third, we are to move from a spirituality of justice for human beings to a spirituality of justice for every life-form.
Philip Newell

Tactics are how we win short-term games … Strategies are for long-term games. Strategies are worth sharing, inspecting, and sticking with. A tactic is what we do next. A strategy is all the nexts, one after the other.**
Seth Godin

When it comes to our friend Earth,
We are in a long-term game, and
the best strategies will include our
personal transformation;
Earth will help us –
That’s what friends do.

A story isn’t about what happens in the world. A story is about what happens in the protagonist.^
