The accumulated knowledge we share among our fellow humans will be for naught if the wisdom we learn is lost in the detail of definitions, and the categorization of our existence. If we are unable to keep our sense of wonder of being alive in the universe or unable to communicate our respect for all living things then we will have failed in our passage on this planet.

The wisdom of which I speak is the knowing that each thought we have, and each breath we take is a mirror of every particle that moves in the universe. To know that we are as bright as the sun, and as large as the universe gives one the feeling of a deep sense of gratitude and respect when addressing the future of the human race.

If ever there was a time for humans to reconsider their destiny on this planet it is today. Each of us must communicate this need to give life a more meaningful place on a planet that radiates so majestically under the vault of heaven.
