“For one human being
to love another…
that is perhaps the
most difficult of
all our tasks, the
final and ultimate proof,
the task for which all
preparation”
–R. Maria Rilke
“If all the beasts were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth.”
― Chief Seattle
