"There is a need for all of the children

to go into the future

as a single, sacred community:

the children of the animals,

the children of the birds,

the children of the trees,

the children of the insects.

For there is no future for the human child,

if there is no future

for the children of all other life forms.

It takes a universe to create a child

with both outer form

and

inner Spirit.

It takes a universe to fulfill a child

whatever the outer form

and

inner Spirit."*

---Thomas Berry, (1915-2009)
