Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. 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.

Our Earth's Future ~
"How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?"
~ Chief Seattle ~
Awesome quote Coralinni's!! -- a very thought-provokin' look into da future of our of Earth's environment -- viewed from da eyes of Chief Seattle -- Thnx for sharin'! :D
As da chief says so wonderfully -- our beautiful planet is a sacred blessing to us all ---- home to billions of individuals, each makin' up a unique part of da collective framework of human civilization ~ yet we must learn together, to preserve our natural habitats, to care for what we have.....instead of overconsuming our resources.....which are becoming strained as da population continues to grow (geez!) --- Our own actions in da present predicts our future......and each decision we make has its own consequences......So we must choose wisely --- What we do, as little as we may think it is, affects others in a grand-scale ---- We don't own da environment ----- We can't put a price on da air we breathe ~ We all need our air to be clean n' free from pollution ---- so dat our future generations can enjoy da gifts of nature we take for granted ~ DAT RIGHT!!
What will be da consequences of our wrongdoings w/ regards to da environment? ---- More wars n' violence, fightin' over limited resources......widespread famines n' starvation ~ no fresh water for drinkin' ~ We must learn to take care of what we have now's --- Bring Eco-awareness to all.......for our Mother Earth is sacred -- it's all we got!
~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
your quote
Oh Yannaki ~ that is a great quote you took from Chief Seattle's famous speech to the president ~ You picked my favorite part of his speech when he was replying to the president's offer to buy their land ~
His words and yours make me think how we are all a part of a beautiful tapestry of life ~ In my quote .. Chief Seattle was so wise to see how man/woman are but a part of our precious planet and nature ~ It is up to the world's collective consciousness to heal and preserve our Gaia's beauty and to end the destructive path some have carelessly weaved into our tapestry of life ~
tapestry of life
Such a beautiful quote and so true.
We need to heal and preserve our beloved Gaia as you said Coralina, through all of our efforts. It's heartbreaking to think what mankind in the name of greed has made her endure.
