Amber Hurdle

"The Earth's health is the only standard that is all-encompassing enough to overcome the ethnic, cultural, religious, and national tensions that are rending the world asunder.

For that to happen, the collective human consciousness must expand enough so that our highest identification is as Earth-Humans."
