This we know. All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We don not weave the webs of life. We are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Receive the land and the air and the rivers for your children’s children and love it as we have loved it. ~ Chief Seattle

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. ~ Chief Seattle
