This planet is ours. Other planetary bodies may inform us and affect us, but will not feed us or hold us. Our greatest use of power will be to enable those who understand this, and to curtail those who would lay waste to our home as they chase selfish dreams.

As darkness grows around us, we can become ferocious.

Life may twist us in ways we don't feel as it is happening. If we live well and consider the betterment of others, perhaps the shape of our lives will remain visible after we are gone, a pointed reminder of the beauty of life, and of the good that is possible.

Over time, powerful forces have created a gulf between where we are and where we must go. We will make our way through the difficulties and we will find beauty in the journey as we find our way.

Death and rot are crucial to fertility and rebirth. The cycle is natural, yet we can guide it and encourage it, shaping new growth toward the common good.

Though they do their best to place us in desolate conditions, it matters little. We will gather together. We will face the sun. We will be resourceful. We will thrive. We will become beautiful beyond our circumstances.

With few resources we grow strong. We gather together and become prickly to outside forces. The dead wood of our past now protects where we thrive. When the support that surrounds us is taken away, we stand tall and show the power that was hidden within us. We will survive, we will thrive, we will become beautiful.

The way ahead is steep, rough, and barren. But there is sustaining water ahead and we will keep moving forward.

Though the forces surrounding us ignore our needs, we will persist, cyphering the convolutions that will allow us to survive, to thrive.
