Heaven is my Father - Earth is my Mother...

Sep 17, 2021

Heaven is my Father,

Earth is my Mother….

That which fills the Universe,

I regard as my Body…

That which directs the Universe,

I consider as my Naure…

All people are my Brothers and Sisters…

All things are my Companions...

~ Zhang Zai - 張載

'Western Inscription'

* Zhāng Zài; - 張載 - was a Chinese philosopher, essayist, politician, writer, and cosmologist who lived during the years of 1020–1077 in the Song Dynasty.
