"AND THE PEOPLE STAYED HOME. AND READ BOOKS.
AND LISTENED, AND RESTED, AND EXERCISED, AND
MADE ART, AND PLAYED GAMES, AND LEARNED NEW
WAYS OF BEING, AND WERE STILL. AND LISTENED MORE
DEEPLY. SOME MEDITATED, SOME PRAYED, SOME
DANCED. SOME MET THEIR SHADOWS. AND THE PEOPLE
BEGAN TO THINK DIFFERENTLY.
AND THE PEOPLE HEALED. AND IN THE ABSENCE OF
PEOPLE LIVING IN IGNORANT, DANGEROUS, MINDLESS,
AND HEARTLESS WAYS, THE EARTH BEGAN TO HEAL.
AND WHEN THE DANGER PASSED, AND THE PEOPLE
JOINED TOGETHER AGAIN, THEY GRIEVED THEIR LOSSES,
AND MADE NEW CHOICES, AND DREAMED NEW
IMAGES, AND CREATED NEW WAYS TO LIVE AND HEAL
THE EARTH FULLY, AS THEY HAD BEEN HEALED."
