Quotes
A few quotes that are a part of the presentation.
"The first step, I think, and that's why it's in my poetry, is to make us love the world rather than to make us fear for the end of the world. Make us love the world, which means the nonhuman as well as the human, and then begin to take better care of it."
Gary Snyder

When I Was The Stream
When I was the stream, when I was the forest
When I was still the field,
When I was every hoof, foot, fin and wing,
When I was the Sky itself,
Noone ever asked me did I have a purpose,
Noone ever wondered was there anything I might need
For there was nothing I could not Love
It was when I left All we once were that the agony began
That the fear and questions came and I wept. I wept.
And tears I had never known before
So I returned to the River. I returned to the Mountains.
I asked for their hand in marriage again. I begged.
I begged to wed every object and creature
And when they accepted
God was ever present in my arms
Meister Eckhart
