“Seen from the sun, the biosphere is whole – one radiant membrane, blossoming from the earth’s core of flowing rock. All beings bathe in the same flow of sunlight, all are washed by the same air and breathe in subtle, rhythmic accord. Gaia, as biologist Lynn Margulis wrote, is symbiosis – the mutual interdependence of the whole – seen from space.”
– Eleanor O’Hanlon
