YOU are made of this ground. you are the rows of neat crops and the grass so green, you are the beautiful flowers and the gnarly old trees, you are the largest, grandest plants and the tiniest seeds; you are made of this ground.

YOU are made of this sky. you are the sun in the blue when it shines so bright, you are the moon in the black, unforgiving night, you are the lightning, thunder, rain: heavy or light; you are made of this sky.

YOU are made of this water. you are the deepest oceans and the vastest seas, you are the crashing waves led by the seaside breeze, you are the lazy river and you do as you please; you are made of this water.

YOU are made of this earth. you are the people of every sexuality, gender and race, you are every natural phenomenon that we face, you are the modern technology and architecture in place, you are the sparkling nebulas and galaxies viewed in space, you are the sensations of touch, smell, hear, see, taste, you are the prey that run and hide and predators that chase, you are the things that we love and the things that we hate, you are made of this earth.

you are made of this earth. and you are worth nothing less.
