“Full moon calls thee--
Shai-hulud shall thou see;

Bloody death didst thou die.

Luck with us will then abound,
What we seek for shall be found
In the land of solid ground.”

Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases. The entire landscape comes alive, filled with relationships and relationships within relationships.”
