Description: This symbol is presented like a metaphor of us and our earth. It is a big organism and we, people, are parts of this organism; we are not separate. And the earth is also just a part of an even bigger organism. Our earth is like a tree with roots that extend to the vast cosmos. Everything is interconnected. "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." – Albert Einstein We believe that this understanding of being one with the universe can raise people’s awareness about our environment, us and our function. This can lead to some positive changes that our planet desperately needs. “You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.” – Alan Wilson Watts

You've balanced this out brilliantly. Can't wait to see this with type. I thought it was a breno number from the thumbnail

There will be no type. This is a typeless symbol for the concept :)**But I was thinking about updating forms later, that is why it is an early sketch. But I see that people like them as they are now. I will think later about improving them.**Wondering what is the meaning of %22breno number%22? :)

It's brilliant like it is now - from the thumbnail I thought it looked like some of breno bitencourts more recent organic marks. Meant as a compliment.
