We’ve become convinced we are a gift to land as if without our direction it would be lost, that it must be tamed and controlled (this is domination). We’ve forgotten that we came from the land, and that this land is a gift to us which we are charged to care for and see to it that it thrives and not merely survives (this is dominion having). We’ve become convinced we were the point of creation, that the entire story is about us, that we are center stage; we’ve forgotten that there’s another character on this stage of existence, our partner, the earth.
