One of the most important things I have learned in my life is getting rid of the idea that humans are the most superior, most important species on Earth.
The idea that we are allows us to do unspeakable things to each other, our fellow Earth companions, to the Earth herself.
It isn’t just a faulty idea, it harms us as much as it harms everyone else.
Instead of looking at us as the apex of a triangle, we need to look at us within a circle, where everyone is included and everyone is equal.
There is great harmony in Nature, even between the predators and prey. We lack that harmony and the only way to regain that is to let go of the arrogance that we know best.
You only have to look around the world to appreciate we don’t.
Coming off our pedestal means we are allowing vulnerability. It means we shed a mindset that doesn’t serve us, but is familiar. Others who are close may disagree, making the change even harder......
