Ask the animals — and they shall instruct you;
ask the birds of the air — and they shall tell you;
ask the plants of the Earth — and they will teach you
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know that the
hand of our God has done this?
In God's hand is the life of every living being
and the breath of humankind.

—Job 12:7-10, quoted in "Web of Life and beginning to see: birds, tree sloths and the community of life," part of the Web of Life series on Global Sisters Report
