I Cannot Remember A Time

If Everybody On The Planet Today Had The Same Standard Of Living As The Average European Or American, We Would Need Three New Planets. But We Don't Even Have One New Planet. We Have This One, And With The Way We're Polluting It, The Shrinking Water Resources, The Climate Change, The Experimentation With Plants... The Outlook Is Grim.

I Became Intensely Aware Of The Being-ness Of Trees. The Feel Of Rough Sun-warmed Bark Of An Ancient Forest Giant, Or The Cool, Smooth Skin Of A Young And Eager Sapling, Gave Me A Strange, Intuitive Sense Of The Sap As It Was Sucked Up By Unseen Roots And Drawn Up To The Very Tips Of The Branches, High Overhead.

I Think We're Still In A Muddle With Our Language, Because Once You Get Words And A Spoken Language It Gets Harder To Communicate.

Let Us Develop Respect For All Living Things. Let Us Try To Replace Violence And Intolerance With Understanding And Compassion. And Love.

I Think The Most Important Thing To Do Is To Be Willing To Listen, Willing To Care, And Willing To Admit Mistakes And Change Your Ways For The Better!
