The Gratitude PledgeIn deepest gratitude for having been given the gift of Life, and the wonders that accompany it;In gratitude for the Earth our home, for Nature, and all the incredible species we share her with;In gratitude for all who work to make this world a better place, and all who have done so in the past, stretching far back into the mists of time;In gratitude for the freedom I have to choose my path as I take my turn in carrying the baton of life;In gratitude for these gifts, I PLEDGE that I will use my life to serve the betterment of all living beings,the healing of suffering, and the restoration of our beautiful planet the Earth.
