It is not possible to restore the original Eden. Paradise is lost. But it can be regained: a new Eden can be created. We have the skill to turn the sickly industrialized wasteland that much of humanity now occupies into a healthy and healthful environment.
But do we have the will? Not without the vision. To have vision we must have feeling-empathy and love for the whole of Creation…We have, I believe, a moment’s grace to preserve what is left of the Earth by discovering that which is sacred within ourselves as within all things.
