As a child's games can confuse and frustrate a mother, so, I feel, can our games confuse and frustrate our Mother Earth, perhaps to the point that she, in her rage, will throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The time for reflection, contemplation and heartfelt, reasonable change is now, and always has been.

If we all learnt to truly love ourselves, we would realise that we are more than an I.D. number, a haircut, and an income, but a tiny spark in an ocean of light, just waiting to fill and be filled by the peace and love of the Kosmos.

To all of you who feel you have gone too far down a path of denial and destruction and feel it is too late, or that inner and outer peace is but a faint memory of a long-dead dream; listen; YOU DID NOT GET WHERE YOU ARE TODAY WITHOUT OVERCOMING CHALLENGES. YOU ARE ABLE TO CHANGE THE WORLD. The instructions are written in your heart.

Take some time out and ask yourself some questions: What is my relationship with myself? Am I happy with it? What is my relationship with my family? And my friends? What about the animals I live with, both at home and across the globe? What about with the planet itself? What about the trees, the soil, and the water which gives me life and has given my ancestors life, for as long as life has been on the planet? Then ask yourself, what is the use of building an Empire whose only domain will be over a dry, choking wasteland, devoid of the warmth of universal peace and love, a tomb in which the only company is the stench of death and nostalgia?

Much more than having a will to live, I believe we have a Will to Love, not only our partner or our children, but all the creatures and all the wonder of the universe.

The Time for Compassion and True Love is Now, and always will be.
