The role of spiritual philosophies and communities in supporting and promoting degrowth
Bart Everson, Gaian Way
Homeric
Hymn to Gaia
To Gaia, Mother of All I sing
Primeval
Oldest being
You comprise everything on Earth
The land, and those that take root,
and those that move upon the land
The sky, and those who fly through the air
The sea, and all who swim through your waters
All of these are nourished from your bliss
Through you, O Queen, humans are blessed
Both with children and with harvests
You have the power to give life to humans
And also to take life away
Blessed are those whom you delight to honor
They possess everything in abundance
And enough is abundance to the wise
Such is it for those you honor!
Revered goddess, unrivaled deity
Rejoice O Mother of the Gods
Wife of twinkling Ouranos
For this song, grant me a cheerful heart
Global Degrowth Day
Stories are foundational to how we understand
who we are and the world in which we live,
and we should think of economics as a story.

that's all we are
