In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze,
for the vast drama of ourselves.”

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.”
