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.
