       The small plot of ground
       on which you were born
       cannot be expected
       to stay forever the same.  
       Earth changes, 
       and home becomes different
       places....

       ...To feel alive,
       important and safe,
       know your own waters
       and hills, but know
       more.

       You have stars in your bones
       and oceans 
       in blood...

       ...You belong to the land
       and sky of your first cry,
       you belong to infinity.

   
      -- Alla Renee Bozarth in "Earth Prayers from Around the World" by

This poem sounded memetically compatible with transhumanist values, if only in a symbolic sense.

In liberty, towards extropy!
