The most fundamental law is to recognise that we share the planet with other beings, and that we have a duty to care for our common home.

One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day.

Crystals are living beings at the beginning of creation. All things have a frequency and a vibration.

The Navajo teach their children that every morning when the sun comes up, it’s a brand-new sun. It’s born each morning, it lives for the duration of one day, and in the evening it passes on, never to return again. As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say, ‘The sun has only one day. You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun won’t have wasted precious time.’ Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy.

I think that responsible living in the biosphere means learning to see other species as beings like us, in that they have intentions, make decisions, and they know what they’re doing. They have points of view.
I think that responsible living in the biosphere means learning to take the interests of other species into consideration and allowing them room to live. And I think it means learning to relate to them and to think through the kinship we have with them…

Earth is not a platform for human life. It is a living being. We’re not on it but part of it. Its health is our health.

One belief that I would like you to consider is that; we are one. We are oneness. Our energy, our connectiveness, nature and the earths energetic force are all one. This may sound kinda woo woo and yet, in fact if you embrace this idea watch how your state of mind becomes more optimistic. More connected. More open…

We are all lives in other skins, furs, feathers, or scales, each with different visions and dreams and histories, different kinds of earth intelligence, all of it making for one great whole.

Gratitude is the way the heart remembers––remembers kindnesses, cherished interactions with others, compassionate actions of strangers, surprise gifts, and everyday blessings.

I have come to understand for myself that re-patterning the future through a new way of being in the present, is about “meeting the moment”. It is about the little day-to-day changes, not just in our doing, but in our being in relationship to people, place and planet.

May the energy emanating
from every step I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
May the energy emanating
from every breath I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
May the energy emanating
from every action I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
May the energy emanating
from every thought, action,
word and deed of all humanity
re-sanctify the Earth.
And so, by this exchange
of blessings may grow,
in symbiosis,
the consciousness of Oneness.

Let us remember that our actions have value and impact way beyond what we can see. And seemingly small acts can bring about great and transformative healing.

Over the centuries, human beings have come to care more about collecting material things than supporting Nature’s gifts, people and living creations. There has been a loss of our sense of the Sacredness of Life. We’ve placed more emphasis on wanting, getting, measuring and comparing than on living, loving, learning and being. What we’ve forgotten is that every life is precious and unique. Every day, every moment. Every forest, meadow and stream, every tree, child, river and lake, is a sacred gift from the Universe.

Few people today, when they’re cycling past a stand of oaks, sense that those trees are sensing them; we don’t feel the breeze gusting around us as a sensitive and sentient presence, and upon arriving at our place of work and settling down to the day’s tasks, we don’t concern ourselves that the chairs we sit in register our presence, or that the walls of the room are affected by our actions.
