Everything is Connected
Be a voice for the voiceless.
Animals are sentient beings. Many people choose to live with animals and many consider them to be family members. Some even befriend wild animals. In Western culture it is a taboo to love an individual animal as much as a human being. Still many people feel this way. They realize that we are members of the same larger family and that empathy on both sides can bridge the communication gap.
Without plants we would not survive more than a few
minutes. There would be no oxygen. They also provide
us with food, with medicine and with beauty.
Some say that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but
very few people would consider flowers to be anything
less than beautiful.
To quote Gordon MacLellan: "I live in a world where
everything is alive and everything has the quality that
we would call "spirit". This means that all things have
the potential to communicate. And this awareness ...
teaches me to listen."
