HOPE can be found in Communion with the Universe

We find HOPE when confronting our Environmental Emergency as we move from living separately to living in community with all of creation.  Albert Einstein wrote of this with clarity and eloquence.  Here are his words.

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. (Albert Einstein, condolence letter to Norman Salit, March 4, 1950. Reprinted in The New York Times, March 29, 1972.)

As I say in my book, LOVING MOTHER EARTH, we live in a "holonic world" where everything is apart from, and a part of everything in creation.  Fact.  You are you, but you are a part of your family, community, country, world.  Same with butterflies, rocks, ideas... everything is apart from, and a part of the Universe. Note Einsteins use of a capital U.  You, too.
