This earth is my sister; I love her daily grace, her silent daring, and how loved I am. How we admire this strength in each other, all that we have lost, all that we have suffered, all that we know: We are stunned by this beauty, and I do not forget: what she is to me, what I am to her.
I am not so different in my history of abandonment from anyone else after all. We have all been split away from the earth, each other, ourselves.
It is a grief over the fate of the Earth that contains within it a joyful hope, that we might reclaim this Earth.
