The small plot of ground
on which you were born
cannot be expected
to stay forever the same.
Earth changes,
and home becomes different
places....
...To feel alive,
important and safe,
know your own waters
and hills, but know
more.
You have stars in your bones
and oceans
in blood...
...You belong to the land
and sky of your first cry,
you belong to infinity.
-- Alla Renee Bozarth in "Earth Prayers from Around the World" by
Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon

This poem sounded memetically compatible with transhumanist values, if
only in a symbolic sense.
In liberty, towards extropy!
