Renunciation By Dr. Michael W. Fox, DrFoxOneHealth.com

Where have all the insects gone?
So few the singing birds,
Dragon fly and butterfly so rare.
Many of us see and care
Too late. Their fate
We all will share
Unless we heal, restore
The wild and every child
Of all our earth-relations:
Not just our own invasive
Consumptive kind, half-blind,
Destroying nature’s creations.
Before redemption, renunciation
Of inhumanity, recovering empathic sanity,
To live the Golden Rule of harmony
And peaceful co-existence.

In honor of the 90th birthday of H.H. The Dalai lama who stated:

"We share the earth not only with our fellow human beings, but with all the other creatures."

"Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity."
