Happy 50th Earth Day Friends!

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together … all things connect.”

Healing inspiration as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

Rachel Carson, catalyst for the modern environmental movement and author of “Silent Spring”.
