For a dramatically different take on the ethical dimension of reality, see this "intimate conversation with mother earth", from Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh; (go to this link). Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching is a rich alternative to much of the empty materialism of the West: "You manifested more than 4 and a half billion years ago and life began to manifest on you less than one billion years later. Since then, you have gradually become the beautiful living planet that you are today".
