"we mourn the destruction of our biosphere…we suffer with our world - that is the literal meaning of compassion. It isn't some private craziness…it is a signal of our own evolution, a measure of our humanity…It enables us to recognise our profound interconnectedness with all beings. Don't ever apologise for crying for the trees…or over the water polluted…Don't apologise for the sorrow, grief and rage you feel. It is a measure of your humanity and your maturity. It is a measure of you open heart, and as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal…" - Joanna Macy in "The Greening of the Self"
