We cannot own a gift.
A gift is freely given, is
received in the heart
and then we can only take care of it.
The gift of Earth is a gift to us
all.
We cannot claim any aspect of it as our own
and separate it from others.
The statement "this is mine" therefore
harms
and is an insult to the love given, is a seed of war,
shows
disrespect and arrogance.
The statement "I am a caretaker of the Earth"
is respectful,
humble and
is an inherent statement of peace.
