"What is a Gaian?" That is the question that we have asked ourselves for a very long time. It predates the birth of both of us, and honestly, Human nature distracts us thus far from being able to really answer it. Are we pirates that sit at the feet of the Corsairs like dogs? Are we naive idealists that pay lip service to some high minded notion of being the stewards of the environment, fooling ourselves that we have any chance of affecting any real change? The answer is yes. We are those things...But what far too many Gaians fail to grasp is that we are those things and more."

Banger attempts another hit, realizes its gone out, and re-lights it before continuing.

"What we are: You, Me, everyone we know, everyone we don't, the tree we sit under, the air we breathe, the places we go, everything we have ever seen, touched, experienced, or even think is all part of one symbiotic system that is observable, measurable, and yet ultimately, undefinable."

"The closest our limited human minds can come to understanding the nature of the reality we live in, was once called The Gaia Principal"

"Simply put, it states that the entire Universe is a single living organism."

"All life, all objects, all thoughts, all actions...again, everything that exists within space and time is simply a part of a perfect system that lives and breathes in its own way, and we are all a part of it. That is the true beauty of nature that you don't understand. Most Gaians don't. It is a self-regulating system that takes care of itself. It doesn't recognize good or evil, right or wrong, love or hate. It only knows balance and imbalance. Most Gaians flat-out fail to see that despite all its flaws, the Universe is a perfect machine."

"I don't know how else to explain it to you. You're not misguided in what you conceive your reality to be, but you are instead, extremely short-sighted. You need to learn that light cannot exist without casting shadow and that life has absolutely no meaning without death."

"What is a Gaian? Gaians are simultaneously an unstoppable force and an immovable object. A force of Nature as well as the Beasts of it...and That is the true nature of Nature. To deny any one part in order to favor the other is to piss on the graves of those who have died before us, and to spit in the eye of the Universe all around us."
