“It’s easy to go someplace that is foreign where we see things that are new to us, but if we just pause and look all around us we can find things in our everyday existence that are truly beautiful. We begin to see the familiar, in an entirely new way. We learn to have a new appreciation for our environment and for our place within it. We become more connected.”

"You need to look up and you need to look down. Everything is connected to everything else. The tree cannot grow without the ground. The birds do not fly without the air. We do not see without the light."
