Earthspeak
n. A nonverbal language that facilitates communication among those indigenous to Planet Earth through states of being, feeling, and behaving.
This language is not bound by inert symbolism. Rather, this language leaves a unique, unrepeatable, non-replicable mark with each interaction, and it is in a constant state of change.
Earthspeak is grounded in living reality. It is private to biological intelligence that experiences birth, life, and death in interdependence with the rest of the Planet. It is a birthright and accessible to all plant and animal species, as well as living elements that facilitate life and death: water, air, soil, and fire.
