This earth is a garden, this life a banquet, and it's time we realized that it was given to all life, animal and man, to enjoy.

We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory. But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit.

Evil can be a teacher, if you look at the wisdom of its negative power.

Immerse yourself in nature’s symphony and let your senses burst with joy.

We walk ourselves into ruts so deep we cannot see over them.

Complacency makes one as guilty as those who destroy the Earth.
