Like The Layers Of An Onion, Under

If Your Homeland Were Invaded By Aliens Who Cut Down The Forests, Poisoned The Water And Air And Contaminated The Food Supply, Would You Resist?

The Pretense That Humans Are Superior To Nonhumans Is Entirely Unsupportable. I Have Seen No Compelling Evidence That Humans Are Particularly More "intelligent" Than Any Other Creature. I Have Had Long And Fruitful Relationshis With Many Nonhuman Animals, Both Domesticated And Wild, And Have Reveled In The Bouquet Of Radically Different Intelligences - Different Forms, Not Different "quantities" That They Have Introduced To Me, Each In His Or Her Own Time, In His Or Her Own Way.

If We Celebrate Life With All Its Contradictions, Embrace, Experience, And Ultimately Live With It, A Chance Exists For A Spiritual Life Filled Not Only With Pain And Untidiness, But Also With Joy, Community, And Creativity.

We Have A Need For Enchantment That Is As Deep And Devoted As Our Need For Food And Water.

I Thought A Forest Was Made Up Entirely Of Trees, But Now I Know That The Foundation Lies Below Ground, In The Fungi.
