1/
You are not a separate being.
You
belong to the living body of Earth.
You are the Earth, looking up at the
stars.
You are the Earth, becoming conscious of itself.”
2/
To see all life as holy rescues us
from loneliness
and the sense of futility that comes with isolation.
The
sacred becomes part of every encounter when
you open to it and let it
receive your full attention.
I don’t have to go to Chartres Cathedral to
be in
the presence of the Divine. It is right here. This
understanding
is essential for facing collapse and
living in this time. This means
that our sorrow is sacred, too.
Within us all is grief for what is
happening to our world…
That’s because I belong. That’s because I am part
of the
sacred living body of Earth.
– Joanna Macy (1929 - 2025)
