1.
Revere the human spirit -- celebrate your connection to the human community, celebrate your connection to the Earth.
2.
The body is material.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed;
it has always been and will always be.
Therefore, material is eternal; only its form changes.
3.
The proper response to nature is wonder, marvel and awe.
4.
Rock, hoe, seed -- each a miracle, each a wonder, all sources of marvel.
5.
Wonder is a source of humility.
Wisdom is always humble.
6.
Love the earth as your own body.
Want for others what you desire for yourself.
This is the way to respect.
7.
Can we stop a volcano from erupting?
Then why do we think we aren't creatures of nature?
8.
Be open to the grandeur of nature -- that is sublime.
9.
Celebrate each season, for you, too,
are transformed with the turns of the earth.
10.
You are bound to this earth, so take time to see what is before you.
Then your life can become a thing of beauty.
