Sacred balance

"What is the role of human beings in the sacred balance of life? Since human beings first appeared on Earth, they have lived in a sacred relationship with the place they inhabit, the land they depend on ... [O]ur family is far larger than we realize. We're at home in the human community and in the biosphere, close relatives of every living thing. We are all creatures of the living Earth. The important thing ... is that if we can see and feel the web we're a part of, we can change the way we act towards it."--Container.
