I Believe This To Be True

• Any creature that feels unsafe is potentially dangerous.

• Behavior makes sense if you know the whole story. We often don't. Understandable does not mean excusable. 

• Everyone is doing the best they can with what they've got. Sometimes a person's best is under-resourced.

• The universe is a closed (ish) and expanding system, one sacred whole that is ever transforming.

• The key indicators of health in any ecosystem (be it a human family or a planet) are levels of biodiversity and interconnection.
