I find it impossible to consider that Earth would be the only planet in the universe with Life. There must be forms of Life everywhere; and thus self aware Life. Perhaps, the reason we have never been visited by sentient beings from other planets is that no race can survive an ability to see itself as the owner of its planet.

And yet: seeds.
in this apocryphal landscape there are individuals, groups of individuals, communities, and blogs, little youtube movies, newsletters, books, and voices that remind us, call us, yell and scream at us: Remember what it is to be human! Cross the abyss, our true selves are still there, waiting to be needed again. What is real about us is not our ability to make war, nor our ability to make money. What is real is our ability to live and let live, to survive as part of an ecology of living beings, everything connected to everything else.
