When we realise that we are nature


At that time, we realise that the development of science and technology that we are working on not only makes us live out progress, easiness, and happiness, but also regress, distress, and sadness. The Earth we inhabit may not be as vast as other blue planets in the distant sky. Yet, until these words come down, we have not made this blessed planet a home where we, together with plants, animals, and even our fellow human beings, enjoy equality. Our diversity and uniqueness still nourish attitudes and practices of injustice and inequality. Who knows for how long. 

However, may our realisation be a good sign that nature continues her journey of existence in processes that move continuously through emergence, fall, repentance and resurrection.
