+~
+We have a Buddhist prayer in which we ourselves aspire to become like [the
+earth].  We say:
+
+    May I be like the earth,
+    Providing the air, the ground, water,
+    And everything she provides
+    That is our sacred source of life.
 
+Inspired by the example of the earth, this prayer encourages us to aspire to
+be an unconditional source of all well-being and life for others.  This is a
+supreme aspiration.  We do not just have a great deal to learn about the
+environment—we also have a lot to learn from it.
