Everything in the universe
genetically to cousin
everything else.
There is one family,
one bonding, in the universe,
because everything is descended from
the same source. 🦋

"Ultimately, we have all sprouted from heavenly seeds, we all have the same father, from him the benevolent mother receives the wet drops of rain, she takes up the earth and brings forth blossoming, shimmering fruits, lush trees, so the human race, gives vitality to the wild animals of all species, satisfies, providing food and fodder, the them of starving
Lucretius II, 91-997

Without the soaring birds,
the great forests, the sounds
and coloration of the
the free-flowing streams
the flowering fields,
the sight of the clouds by day
and the stars at night,
we are becoming
in all that makes us human.
