I shall pass this way but once,therefore, any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show,let me do it now for I
shall not pass this way again.

I will consider my earthly existence to have been a waste unless I can recall a loving family,a
consistent investment in the lives of people,and an earnest attempt to serve the God who made me.
DR.James Dobson
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there,I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain, I am the autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of birds; circling in flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

If silence is golden,then speech is platinum
.It spreads wisdom,
dispels ignorance,
ventilates grievances,
stimulates curiosity,
lightens the spirits,and lessons the fundamental loneliness of the soul.
Jan Struther
I believe that life was meant to be embraced, not just endured.
Treasured, not just tolerated.
Savored ,not just survived.
Advertised, not just avoided.
Illuminated ,not just ignored,
and most of all, I believe that life was meant to be Celebrated!

Who follows the roadmaps of the leaves or listens as the crickets walk?
Who really looks at clouds and watches for tiny little things?
Who truly feels the softness of a smile or always touches trees?
Who always finds these little joys,except a child....and sometimes....me.

Harmony with the "Land" is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop
off his left..... you cannot love game and hate predators... .The "Land" is One Organism.

"When the last Red Man has vanished from the Earth,and the memory is only a shadow of a cloud,moving across the prairie, these
shores and forest will still hold the spirits of My People. For they love this Earth as the newborn loves it's mother's
heartbeat. One thing we know--our God is the same. This Earth is precious to him. Even the White man cannot be exempt
from the common destiny".
Sealth-a Duwamish Chief
One thing we know which the White man may one day discover,our God is the same God.You may think now that you own him as
you wish to own our land.But you cannot. He is the body of man.And his compassion is equal for the Red man and the White. The
Earth is precious to him,and to harm the Earth,is to heap Contempt on it's Creator. The Whites too shall pass,perhaps sooner
than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your own bed ,and you will one night suffocate in your own waste. When the
buffalo are all slaughtered,the wild horses all tamed,the secret corners of the forest heavy with the scent of many men,and
the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires...... Where is the Thicket?! GONE. Where is the Eagle?! GONE. And
what is to say goodbye to the "Swift" and the "Hunt", is the End of "Living" and the Beginning of "Survival".
Famous Native American Chief,although his name escapes me right now.This is a speech said in front of Congress after the
United States Government took away All the American Indian's land,and forced them to move onto reservations.
Sell a Country?! Why not sell the Air,The Clouds, and the great Sea?! Did not the Great Spirit make them All for
the use of his Children?!
