The earth sustains us and infinite communities of plants and animals. We all know the fresh smell of dirt and the feel of soil in our hands, the transformation of seeds into fields and forests. Every cell in our body is formed from the earth and returns to the earth.

The sun is everything. We are living on a sunlit garden in infinite night. Fire is energy, it is electricity, it is the spark of life. This stream considers the dual nature of fire, as destroyer and creator, the good of technology – solar and wind farms, and the damaging – data centers and burning forests. The importance of conservation and the responsibility of energy sources. Energy is life.
