Communication, Consciousness, and Social Action

"Being fully present to fear, to gratitude, to all that is — this is the practice of mutual belonging. As living members of the living body of Earth, we are grounded in that kind of belonging. We will find more ways to remember, celebrate, and affirm this deep knowing: we belong to each other, we belong to Earth. Even when faced with cataclysmic changes, nothing can ever separate us from her. We are already home.

Our belonging is rooted in the living body of Earth, woven of the flows of time and relationship that form our bodies, our communities, our climate. When we turn and open our heart-mind to Earth, she is always there. This is the great reciprocity at the heart of the universe. My gratitude to all. May we experience 'sheer abundance of being,' as Rilke says, and know that we truly belong here."

- Joanna Macy, from her book, A Wild Love for the World. www.joannamacy.net
