Prayer is not a monologue. It speaks to God and to the community. In the last analysis, religion is not what goes on inside a soul.

To embody a new paradigm of civilization - to learn to think like a planet in order to heal and nurture a planet - is not a typical hero's task. It is more the task of a gardener.
