We are trying to be good ancestors, to make a world in which the land that, in the past, fed many species, including ours, will feed them in the future, to take the fork in the road that leads to well-being in the short-term, and the long.**
Rebecca Solnit
Maybe we can at least learn to listen again to the world. Who knows into what secrets that will lead us.*
Kenneth White
Yesterday,
I walked
to birdsong,
To vibrant greens
of trees,
To diverse
grasses and plants,
And it was good.

Walking on earth is a miracle! We do not have to walk in space or on water to experience a miracle. The real miracle is to be awake in the present moment. Walking on green earth, we can realise the wonder of being alive.^
