“To call 10 million other species The Environment as if it’s a piece of space we walk into, is the most ignorant word. It’s like walking into a room full of people and only acknowledging the chairs”

Truth is expansive enough to hold both absolute reality and relative reality. With grace, we can comfortably inhabit both. Some call this awakening.

But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

From the laziness that is contented with half truth,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Good Lord, deliver us.
