I would say that there exist a thousand unbreakable links between each
of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our chances are one.
The farthest star and the mud at our feet are a family; and there is no
decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then
closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and
ourselves - we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a
sustainable world together.
We are each other's destiny.
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays
