The heart of human pain is that we believe in separation.

We are born into a world where all is connected with all, yet learn to separate one thing from another.

When we disregard the myth of separation, we relearn reality - all is connected with all.

I am not separate to my body nor my breath.

I am not separate to the wind nor the soil.

I am part of you and you of me.

All things feel.

All things aspire to life.

Nothing is inanimate, though the inner life of some things lies beyond our ability to imagine.

Though to function we need to see one thing as separate from another, we should never believe it really to be true.

Compassion is not treating ‘others’ better. There are no others.

Environmental care is self-care.

We are not isolated. We are all part of the interconnected self,
