EAT BE GROW SUSTAIN Sharing Creative Living by Danaan Parry Declaration of the Four Sacred Things The Earth is a living conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places we name these things as sacred air fire water and earth. Whether we see them as the breath energy blood and body of the Mother or as the blessed gifts of a Creator or as symbols of interconnected systems that sustain life we know that nothing can live without them. To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value beyond their usefulness for human ends that they themselves become the standard by which our acts our economics our laws and our purposes must be judged.
