Mary de La Valette: Only Love

 Only Love
 
Let us understand
The gravity of our situation.

Let us understand
That our only redemption
is love.

Love for a small endangered planet
On which we are utterly dependent.

Only love can transform us
From plunderers and savagers
Into Earthkeepers and peacemakers.

Only love can show us 
The integrity and rights
Of all other beings.

Only love can open our eyes
To the truth and beauty
That surround us.

Only love can teach us
The humility we need
To live on this Earth.

And only love can save us
From extinction.

— Mary de La Valette

Inspiration From Leaders &
Visionaries Around the World
