We are part of the earth
We are part of the earth and it is part of us. We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat.

All things share the same breath
All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the human, the air . .
The earth does not belong to us
The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls all who dwell on earth. We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
This we know
This we know:
The earth does not belong to us
We belong to the earth.
All things are connected
Like the blood which unites one family
We do not weave the web of life
We are merely a strand in it.
And whatever we do to the web
We do to ourselves!
