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.”

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.
