“Evolution endowed your species with the greatest of possible gifts, but the pinnacle of these was the capacity to call a living world and living places into coherent cooperation according to your goal. You are the element that connects all the other living elements in a domain they cannot achieve without you.

Unfortunately, you have squandered this gift on purposes ad ideas as egregious as they are malign; yet, if you will form a noble purpose, the ancient networks of life will answer your call for allies, for communion, and for the power to heal your people and world. Only in such contexts can your soul truly awaken, and without them it cannot survive.”
