3. Thou shall not hold thyself above other living things nor drive them to extinction.

4. Thou shall give thanks for thy food, to the creatures and plants that nourish thee.

5. Thou shall educate thy offspring for multitudes of people are a blessing unto the Earth when we live in harmony.

6. Thou shall not kill, nor waste Earth's riches upon weapons of war.

7. Thou shall not pursue profit at the Earth's expense, but strive to restore it's damaged majesty.

8. Thou shall not hide from thyself or others the consequences of thy actions upon the Earth.

9. Thou shall not steal from future generations by impoverishing or poisoning the Earth.

10. Thou shall consume material goods in moderation so that all may share in the Earth's bounty.

Dancing at Lughnasad

But the memory of that summer is like a dream to me,
A dream of music that is both heard and imagined,
That seems to be both itself and it`s own echo...

When I remember it, I think of it as dancing,
Dancing as if language had surrendered to movement,
Dancing as if language no longer existed,
Because words were no longer necessary...

- Brian Friel
