We can love ourselves by loving the earth.
We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own - indeed, to embrace the whole creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder. This will happen if we see the need to revive our sense of belonging to a larger family of life, with which we have shared our evolutionary process.
We cannot tire or give up. We owe it to the present and future generations of all species to rise up and walk!
