John G.Bennet

All life is One, and everything that lives is holy.

Plants, animals and men, all must eat to live and nourish one another.

We bless the lives that have died to give us our food.

Let us eat consciously, resolving by our work to pay the debt of our existence.

Today’s Green Thought is the pre-meal grace recited by the disciples of the British social philosopher John G.Bennet (1897-1974).

Chief Seattle

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Today’s Green Thought comes from Chief Seattle (c.1780 - 1866), the Duwamish chief (or his speech writer). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Seattle
