All true, and especially the final imperative--to "respect and support our biosphere, our planet, and the well-being of all life forms." But this broad imperative needs to be translated into pragmatic terms that ordinary people like ourselves can implement on a local scale, starting in our own backyards. Here is the injunction I have come up with to meet this need: Grow Gardens, Grow Community, Grow Awareness--by learning, teaching, healing, and creating. This is something we each can do, no matter who we are and where.
