We relearn how beautiful we are, in beholding our own image as seen through the eyes of that client. That reflection sustains us, spurs us on to be excellent providers of hope, and become the inspiration for practical change. This mutually sustaining cycle of healthy mirroring is further reflected in the larger cycles of nature. We are interdependent with the natural environment. And our place in the office must therefore be mirrored by our place in the universe.
Deep ecology teaches a healthy balance between intervention and restraint.
An essential part of the approach lies in balancing what we do with what we don't do. We must keep an eye on the broader context. We will be trusting more fully our capacity to discern what is right in front of us. This way of seeing will naturally restrain us from abusing the living world. Life appears to be too precious to destroy.
