As a human, I feel a deep need to create meaning in life. Observing the patterns and relationships unfolding around me helps orient me—in place, in time, among my relatives. I cherish everything that sustains me, recognize that there are countless interwoven facets of the living world that perpetuate life. It is essential to consider the ecosystem I belong to, so I can act with purpose within it. Understanding that life is inherently relational compels me to hold dear and treasure the living world around me.
