Animals are beings with feelings and stories of their own.
Language shapes perception.
When we call animals stock or products, we hide their reality, that they are living, feeling beings.
Let’s reclaim the words, and remember: they are not ours to use, but lives to honour.

When a leader is vegan, not just in private but in their public identity, it tends to signal that they take seriously the connection between personal ethics and systemic change.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs.
Francis recognises the Earth as both sister and mother, kin and caretaker. A glimpse of ecological awareness.

Jane Goodall walked the Earth as a Bodhisattva:
her compassion unending,
her patience a river that wore down despair.
She spoke not with power, but with truth —
and the world listened.
Now she returns to spirit in the green canopy,
the song of rivers,
the stillness of dawn.

Lack of empathy – the inability or refusal to recognise the suffering of others.
Grandiosity – a sense of superiority, the belief that one’s desires matter more than others’ needs.
Entitlement – the conviction that one has the right to exploit, control, or harm without accountability.

🌱 Hope, Even Here
I loved the world until I learned the cost.
The cost to animals, to forests, to oceans, to innocence.
I named the greed and felt the ground give way.
And yet—
I plant one seed.
I patch one wound.
I stand where wolves would pass.

We hold dominion over animals because of our powerful intellect. Not because we are morally superior. Not because we have a "right" to exploit those who can not defend themselves. Let us use our brain to move toward compassion, to feel empathy rather than cold indifference.

Here, I sit in stillness,
letting the weight fall from my shoulders.
I breathe with the rhythm of the forest.
I listen to the quiet wisdom of the animals,
and feel my spirit gently settle.

Long before animal rights were a movement, Jeremy Bentham challenged humanity with a simple, profound question:
"The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?"

Domination is inherited—but we can choose to not continue the cycle.
Don’t dominate animals, even though we can.
Don’t silence others, even when we feel right.
Don’t replicate harm in activism or parenting or relationships.
We show there’s another way rooted in kinship, not control.

In the old ways, nothing was silent.
The wind carried messages.
The stones held stories.
The trees sang prayers.
The rivers gave their blessings.
The animals shared their wisdom.
And we?
We offered our presence.
Our gratitude.
Our care.
Reciprocity was the rhythm of life.

"It" is killing the planet.
Every time we call a tree it, we strip them of life.
Every time we call an animal it, we deny their spirit.
Every time we call the Earth it, we forget who we are.

Spiritual awakening isn’t about feeling good all the time.
It's about seeing things as they truly are, even when it's uncomfortable.
For many of us, this includes awakening to how we've been conditioned to view animals not as living souls but as commodities.

To pull a trigger on something so innocent is to pull the thread of connection from the weave of life. In that moment, something within us hardens — a stillness replaces empathy, and the sky becomes just background, not blessing.

Reverence for Life means honouring the intrinsic value of all living beings, not just human, but also animal, plant, and planetary life. It calls us to see life not as hierarchy but as a sacred web where each being has worth, purpose, and the right to exist free from harm.
