Winged Migration
I saw Winged Migration tonight. It is a powerful reminder of the unity of all life - we all share the same struggles and concern for food, shelter, community, providing for our offspring, seek safety.
For me, it was also a reminder of something that seems as true now as when I first started to perceive it. Our own survival is intimately connected with the survival of all life on Earth.
Our own survival is dependent on our ability to expand our circle of concern to include all life - current and future generations. And it is fully possible. We are already making choices based on what we perceive as good for "us". Now, we need to expand "us" to include all life - nothing is outside. It will not be perfect, but any step in this direction is immensely important.
