Mono Lake, CA "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 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)

Wise words indeed, in light of the mess we've made in the gulf.
The Earth is weeping, and all of us can feel its pain.
If only all people would take this to heart and recognize the truth of it.
No wiser words were ever spoken.

Mono Lake,One of the places I visited on my immigration to California in the 60's on rout to Yosemite Natl. Park. Thank God for Jim Muir!!
Divert water from an environment and watch it die over time.
Divert spirit from a soul and the result is much the same.
Hope to contact you via telephone soon.
Love,
Chester
