"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 does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
–Chief Seattle (1786–1866)

Holidays are an interesting phenomena to me. They are like token events. They are reminders that we do not celebrate something every day and that there are designated days of observance, as if they are not important enough to celebrate every moment. Is it not Thanks Giving everyday? Should we not celebrate Christ Consciousness every Moment? Should we not celebrate our birth and our death with every blink of the eye? Should we not love and respect the Earth with each breath we take. Every day is a holiday. Everyday is a Holy-day. If only the world could see or feel this. Imagine.............................................
