The Image of God



In Nature, while nothing is wasted, of a thousand seeds, but ONE tree grows.
          But even the dying seedlings gather a brief moment of light,
          and make their tiny contribution to the future of Creation.

We are Humanity. Something new and special.
          In our hands, EVERY acorn can become a tree.
          In our hands, EVERY egg can become a fish.
          We have the ability to create more Life than we consume.
          We don't have to OWN the earth, nor steal the food from others.

We don't have to harm Creation to feed ourselves and our offspring.
We can grow, preserve and protect everything we see and need.

And when we are not sure what it is that we need,
we can even protect and save it all until we are wise enough to know.
In Our Hands, Life creations can be Free to Live and Love their Life in peace.

In our hands, every creature born can live without fearing us.

And We Best Friends.

No other creature has a greater potential to Love and Save Creation as we do.

In our hands, every child born can know this with certainty.
This is what makes us so special among Life.

It is what makes us ''Humanity''.

Thomas T. Panto

My Hands have planted Acorns for you.
Your hands can plant them to.

Every living thing that ever existed on earth sought and seeks
a better future for its offspring, (and therefore, itself).
For a squirrel it means finding good trees, good mates,
and storing acorns for the winter.

Every living thing has been, and is, inspired by the world,
by its place in the world, and the condition of its own being.
The process involves considering the blessings and the hazards
in this Place, in this Time, and comparing that to its own will.
No one else knows all the conditions but the ONE squirrel
that must decide where and how its seasons will be spent.

There is a limit to what any stranger can do for you.
But a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, just like the world,
can wish you well,
leave you free of fear,
share their seeds with you,
and let Creation Create what it will on earth.
