“Mother earth is our most intimate relation…from whom and where we have all come... We breathe her air into our lungs, we drink her waters, we eat her nutrients…the flow between nature and ourselves is always in process. If there were no rocks, my body would have no minerals and I would die. If there were no sun, the plants would not grow and I would die. If there were no water my cells would dry up and I would die… separation between us and nature is a mirage.” Ed McGaa
