Creation

You and I are a part of creation. We are a part of the profusion of life that populates and beautifies planet Earth.

Mother Nature cares for all of us, making sure we have what we need to live and thrive within the ecosystem of our planet. She does this for all species – not just the human species. The animals, vegetables, fruits, trees, flowers and shrubs, amphibians, insects, crustaceans, and the smallest one cell creatures are a part of the life on this planet. We share the same space. We all are important and have an essential role to play in the quality of life we all enjoy together. We need each other to survive.

Somehow, along the way, mankind began to believe that because we could walk on two legs, talk, form meaningful relationships, read, write, and reason, that we were more important than all the other forms of life. Instead of loving and protecting, we began to feel we had the right to dominate other forms of life on the planet. Not only do we dominate the various forms of life, we do our best to dominate each other. We’ve become unfeeling and cruel.

We forget that animals and other creatures create a society, have families, and require food, love, and shelter. However, we destroy the homes of others to build houses, businesses, hospitals, schools, churches, and huge manufacturing conglomerates and believe that is OK. It is not OK. In building without awareness, we not only destroy our own life, but all other life on the planet. And more importantly, though our unconscious destruction, we are gradually destroying the Earth.

You’ve heard this point of view before. Some of you agree with me, and some of you think I am irrational and unrealistic. Many of us feel we have the right to earn a living through the destruction the ecosystem. We are unconscious to the fact that the ecosystem can only tilt so far before it tips over and breaks.

I want our beautiful planet to be thriving 1000 years from today. In 1000 years I want humanity to be enjoying the trees, wild animals, and free flowing streams. I want the oceans to be teaming with life, our atmosphere clear and clean, and our breath strong and vital.

I want humanity to shift from a violent, careless, selfish culture to a culture of peace, harmony, and contentment.
