Plants are living beings more alive than us

“Moisés, why do you continue to set us on fire, chop us down in astronomical quantities, drench us with pesticides, and destroy the ecosystems of living beings that work with us so that symbiosis in the ecosystems one day ends, limiting our continuous ability to produce your oxygen, your food, and all the phytotherapy we can offer to keep your bodies in harmony. You don’t need to keep killing animals because all our biodiversity of food is enough to sustain you, nor do you need to produce paper, because we have plenty of leaves for all your hygienic uses.”

  • The plants ask

“I beg your forgiveness because I still use some paper, still eat some meat and fish, with mixed plastics, but I do not cut you at the base, nor set you on fire, nor put pesticides on you, and I make much use of your leaves for a good part of my hygiene, and I also use your food, your essential oils, to massage my body and others, which relieve our pain and maintain our skin. I make many infusions of different species, which always give me well-being and physical harmony. In this world where we are, there is an abundance of people who are just glimpses of poets, but none of us can fulfill ourselves like you, who feel us and materialize with your unconditional love everything we need, so that life is not this disharmony, but rather, for us to learn to feel as you feel us and thus, one day, transform life into a balanced celebration.”
