You are central to my dream, for within you I see myself and within myself I see you. Thus if I hurt you I hurt myself, and if I hurt myself I hurt you. Are you a human then ? Or are you a tree ? Maybe a giant panda ? A mountain or a sea ? A work of art ? No, you are all of these and more, You are my reality, vibrant, living, creative, ageless, and I love you dearly. But you are ill and I grieve, You are dying and I mourn, You have caught a fatal disease and it calls itself hate, You are infested by parasites and they call themselves greed, Your beauty is defaced and it calls itself lies, They whip you into a corner and call themselves rulers, Oh, what shall I do my friend ? For you are my Earth, and if you perish then so do I... But now I understand, what you have been telling me these aeons, The truth residing so clear in the Tao, in Buddha, in Christ... The world is one, there are no divisions, The world is spirit, there is no matter, Only flow, only energy, only becoming. From the void complexity arises, From complexity new life emerges, From life I am reborn, fluttering into the light, Grasping the essence of the universal soul. And having grasped, I will not let go, nor forsake thy quest, I will not fail you my fair planet, nor abandon you to chaos. But will apply my wisdom, my understanding, now to educate, To raise awareness of your essence, to stop the rot. In the cosmos I will put my trust, for universal processes surely hold the key, To dynamics and evolution, to creativity and to balance. To health.
