You have the right to be. We exist by birthright—humans made of humus, of earth—no more, no less than any other part of the whole. In this great Circle, the ebb and flow of seasonal cycles we are interwoven with one another and all beings. As the universe expands, so do we, with the right to grow, evolve, err, and find coherence through the constantly changing, living web of relationships.
Life feeds life. All beings have the right to exist in kinship, held within a sacred cycle of birth, death, and nourishment. To live in balance within the great Circle, exchange must be fair, relational, and rooted in reverence for the whole. Fair and equitable exchange honors both the unique essence of each being and the interbeing of all that is—energetically, materially, and ecologically.
Altruism is the whole moving through the part. It is a relational offering that is life-affirming, a natural expression of care that arises when we live in deep relationality to life itself. Altruism is about living in alignment with the truth that the well-being of others is inseparable from our own—flowing from wholeness, knowing we are strands within a greater tapestry.
