22.4.10


The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The strength of the fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
they speak to me.
And my heart soars.

Chief Dan George

i wish you and kim both a very happy earth day. i know how much you both care deeply for the planet - the gorgeous images you post of the natural world demonstrate this very clearly! thank you for capturing so elegantly the beauty of nature to share with all of us readers! :)

i have to also say that that poem is perhaps one of the most beautiful i have ever read. simple, yet perfectly describes the beauty of our world.

happy earth day ladies. xoxo.
