Earth Day

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

something about the way the rain and the grass and the temperature are all mixing together is producing the most wonderful smell.... and it's unmistakably the scent of camp ondessonk. and it's making me incredibly excited to spend a week there in july. last summer, my week volunteering at camp was the BEST, most relaxing, most enjoyable, most real week i'd had in a very, very long time. and i have a feeling this year's trip will NOT disappoint.
