I feel like anyone could have written this damn thing. I don't even like it very much because it feels so cliched. But it was important for me to come out and say it, because of all the years spent believing that NOTHING matters.
People matter, animals matter, insects matter, plants matter.
The creatures of the sea, and the sea itself, they all matter.
The rocks and the mountains, though they seem inorganic and dead, they still matter, they still contain life and spirit.
The air matters, and the water, and the soil.
Our homes matter and our stuff matters. Our bodies matter, our minds and our feelings too.
Our money matters, and our freedom.
Our family, friends, lovers--and our enemies and strangers.
