Each one of us, I believe, is a gift the earth is giving to itself now, a unique gift. … You don’t need to be extraordinary. If the world is to be healed through human effort, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear. People who can open to the web of life that called us into being, and who can rest in the vitality of that larger body.
