Beloved Friends,
For those who may wish to, I saw that there is a documentary narrated by David Attenborough, "Extinction - The Facts", on PBS - tonight at 8pm, or at various other times in the next week or so.
I feel such a strong connection with the life of the Earth, all her creatures, and plants: I yearn and pray so deeply for the awakening of humanity to care for all beings, all creatures.
While this is likely to be a painful documentary to watch, it's purpose I believe - in addition to waking people to the plight of species - is to waken people as well to the possibilities and hope for change to prevent further loss of species, and habitat.
Every bit of awareness about this matters: for to the extent the tide of love and care for the Earth can rise in one's heart - because all of us are connected in the sacred web of life - so too our care and prayers make a significant difference.
For those who may also wish to, after that program there is an additional PBS documentary: "Climate Change - The Facts", with Richard Attenborough, Sunita Narain and Greta Thunberg (9pm tonight, and also upcoming other times/days).
Blessing to all of life and all her creatures. May our hearts as humanity rise daily, to strengthen the bonds of connection with, respect for, reverence, awe, and gratitude, for life of the Earth. May we change how we live together, the choices we make, and may this grow out of our expanding experience of the wonder and miraculousness of each and every form of life. May we help each other with awareness. May we step as a species into our responsibility to care for the Earth, for the future generations of all beings and all species.
With love, hope, and prayer,
Robert McIlwain
