It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. ~Edmund Hillary

 “If you wanna learn about change management, go meditate in a forest at the beginning of spring and then again in autumn.”

― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth Andrew Sean Greer

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers.
Tell them, so that they have reverence for the land, that the earth is saturated with the lives of our ancestors.
Teach your children what we have always taught our children that the earth is our mother. What afflicts the earth also afflicts the sons of the earth.
When people spit on the ground, they spit on themselves.

We know that.
The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.
We know that. Everything is connected like the blood that unites a family.
Everything is connected with each other.

What afflicts the earth also afflicts the sons of the earth.
Man did not create the fabric of life, he is only a fibre of it.
Whatever he does to the fabric, he does to himself.

Chief Seattle, 1851
