leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”

MIGHT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE

 

“When the last tree is cut,
the last fish is caught,
and the last river is polluted;
when to breathe the air is sickening,
you will realize, too late,
that wealth is not in bank accounts
and that you can’t eat money.”
