As the youngest species on the planet, it behooves us to remember that there is a great deal we still have to learn. May we grow into a recognition of our youth as a species and allow ourselves to learn from the many species who are our elders. May we be open to learning how best to survive, thrive, and collaborate, drawing from the wisdom accrued by our earth-kin elders.
