My
life matters
It always
matters whether I reach out in friendship or lash out in anger.
It matters
whether I live with compassion and awareness or whether I
succumb to distractions and trivia.
It always
matters how I treat other people, how I treat animals, and
how I treat myself.
It always
matters what I do. It always matters what I say. And it always
matters what I eat.
When I
choose to affirm the dignity inherent in life and to uphold
the beauty, the magic, and the mystery of the living Earth,
something happens.
It happens
whether or not anyone else recognizes my efforts, and it happens
regardless of how wounded or flawed I am.
What
happens is I join a long lineage of human beings who have
stood for and helped to bring about a future worthy of all
the tears and prayers our species has known.
My life
becomes a statement of human possibility.
My life
becomes an instrument through which a healthier, more compassionate,
and more sustainable future will come to be.
