Nascent planet —
World emerging, this
Small blossom in starry river —
Blue dot drifting in deepness of space —
Life-globe,
With teeming species —

Earth-walker! When you walk across this land, and you see all the living beings in your view, ask yourself: do you put the world, with all its potential — first? Or do you put yourself first?
Earth-walker! When you walk with children, and they ask you, “What are you doing for the planet?” what do you say to them? |
Do they love you for the world they have inherited? Do they walk in your footsteps?
Earth-trekker! What wise actions have you made — you who keep the grass fields growing — what have you done for survival of the world, for all beings yet to live under its skies?
