Gaia

Emerged from the depths of chaos
mother of sky, mountains, sea, man.
She wove the thread of life  
from many intimately linked elements.

We are one big family.
and depend on each other
-  humans, plants, animals.
We share a common destiny.

Man belongs to the Earth
and is a small part of the weave.
Harming the soil, flora or fauna
he condemns himself to death in solitude.
