The Universe is a unity, an interacting and genetically-related community of beings bound together in an inseparable relationship in space and time... The human is that being in whom the Universe activates, reflects upon, and celebrates itself in conscious self-awareness.

Gardening is an active participation in The deepest mysteries of the universe.

Once you adopt and communicate a quality policy, stick with it, live it, and protect it. You get only one chance!

Every being has its own interior, its self, its mystery, its numinous aspect. To deprive any being of this sacred quality is to disrupt the total order of the universe. Reverence will be total or it will not be at all. The universe does not come to us in pieces any more than a human individual stands before us with some part of his/her being.

It is false to say that humanity is the most excellent being in the universe. The most excellent being in the universe is the universe itself.

Of all the issues we are concerned with at present, the most basic issue, in my estimation, is that of human-earth relations.

The reduction of the earth to an object simply for human's use/ possession is unthinkable in most traditional cultures... the earth belongs to itself and to all the component members of the community.
