We have little time. Now, an evolutionary step
is needed to save humanity, to save Earth, to save
all. We all are one. We all are family. New tech-
nologies elucidate this. Donne was prescient. Now,
one not be clairvoyant, only alive. Nations are
anachronistic;  geopolitical boundaries are il-
lusory. Earth is a global community, not 200
pieces of a puzzle. We are a force of one and
must immediately begin to wage a battle against
extinction with caring and kindness, a magnanim-
ity of spirit. We must supplant our myopic vision
with total clarity:  one land, one sky, one sea,
one people. We must save now the only home
all of us have:  Earth.
