“”All things love each other. All nature is oriented toward a thou. All beings that are love are in communion with each other.. All beings love each other or feed each other, and are all united in a gigantic process of birth and growth and reproduction and death… All nature is in close touch and interwoven. All nature is in constant embrace. The wind which caresses me and the sun which kisses me, the air which I inhale, and the fish which swims in the water, the distant star and I who behold it: we are all in close touch with one another.”
Ernesto Cardenal
Life… is a place of no-survival, for we all die and all beings die. The question is: Is it also a place of life-before-death and love-before-death? How much love is truly shared? And how much are we part of that love?”
From Christian Mystics by Matthew Fox
