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 honour all life and the earth, our shared mother, from which we came.
