"Walk thou softly upon this
Good earth and treat her with respect as she deserves
She nurtures us, feeds us, provides our needs.
Step lightly on the path through life, remembering
always that
We are not the only ones here.We have sisters
And brothers beyond counting, beyond our ability to
Know.They may look different, may walk on 4 feet or a
Hundred or none.They may fly through the skies and
Race the very wind or swim beneath the cool
Waters. Some are furred, others feathered or scaled.It
Matters not as all are of value, all have their place
in
The scheme of things.We are neither the first,
Nor the last the greatest or the least of the
Multitude. It would behoove us to remember this to
honor all
Life and the earth, our shared mother, from which we
Came."
