Love all creation—
The whole of it and every grain of sand.
Love every leaf,
Every ray of God’s light,
Love the animals
Love the plants
Love everything.
If you love everything
You will perceive
The divine mystery in things;
And once you have perceived it,
You will begin to comprehend it ceaselessly
More and more everyday
And you will at last come to love the whole world
With an abiding universal love.
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
