| SUMMARY: |
Recent events and phenomena make it more clear to us than
ever that we are living on a planet with rapidly changing living
conditions. The balance that made possible the flourishing of life as we
know it is shifting. The immense living web full of wonderful creatures
who inhabit the Earth and contribute to its richness and support this
balance is suffering. The Anthropocene created issues, problems and
challenges for humanity and our fellow more-than-human earthlings
who share this planet. We are keenly aware that we are agents of
change, at times reshaping our world beyond recognition, bringing
about pollution, intoxicated atmosphere, and global warming. But
unfortunately, rationally acknowledging our impact is not sufficient to
bring about change. We need to reach deeper, to go beyond our
favoured human-centred way of seeing the world and truly meet the
other beings in this extensive network of life and interconnections. |
