"God, whom you want to discover, never wrote a book in ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?"
"How do we move past the identity politics that dominate discourse on the left and right at this fractured moment and amount to a cacophony of special pleadings for the advantage of small groups, nations, and isolated networks?"
"That's why we ignore the Earth, because we cannot look up from our daily concerns. We need a new universal value that unites, one that emphasizes human dignity in the context of a restored, regenerating nature."
Nature functions as an expression of the divine, presented through created things rather than written text. Persistent identity politics on left and right fragment social discourse into special pleadings for small groups, nations, and isolated networks. That fragmentation distracts from the planet by keeping attention fixed on narrow daily concerns, producing collective neglect of Earth. A new universal value is needed that unites people around human dignity situated within a restored, regenerating natural world. Practical outreach can promote planetary-first thinking through visible inspirations such as printouts and shared messages encouraging everyday attention to the planet.
