‘Truly we don’t own land. We don’t work land. We don’t use land, and we don’t even exploit land. We are land. We are the same elements of which the earth is composed. We do not move and walk on the earth: we are earth that moves and walks with the whole – regardless of the extent of our physical abilities. This is the interdependence and interrelatedness – the universality – to which all great spiritual traditions speak.’ (Awakening Together)
