It sometimes seems
that we are caught, 
all of us on earth, 
in a conscious or unconscious conspiracy
to keep ourselves helpless.

And yet it is people 
who produce all the needs 
of other people, 
and together 
we can survive. 

We ourselves can 
cure the famine, 
all the injustice, 
and all the stupidity of the world. 

We can do it by understanding the way natural systems work, 
by careful forestry and gardening, 
by contemplation 
and by taking care of the earth.
