Teach, Learn, Share

No Tree has branches so foolish as to fight amongst themselves"--Ojibwa Indian saying

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Earth does not belong to us we belong to the earth." ---Chief Seattle
