189 - Is the Earth at the Border Without Its Papers?

Peace on this Earth is the mother of all issues. But when we see the devastation in Gaza, the human families are in the foreground, and the rubble farther back. All the beyond-human life on the Earth, from insects to clouds to other people, becomes the background.When I'm shouting into a megaphone on the street, I gravitate to the violence against civilian families as a habit, it's the most powerful argument for Peace. Yet the lives of all participants, even the ones who seem less innocent, even the ones who are doing the shooting, and even the animals and plants - well, nothing is worse for the Earth than war. Peace and war are repeatedly not framed as an ecological thing. But how then, do we bring the Earth closer? That's a trick question. We ARE the Earth. We are all made of the same Earth.
