to start off i'd like to post a quote:
We are all visitors on this planet. We are here for 90 or 100 years, at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.
---His Holiness, the Dalai Lama
the 'visitors on this planet' I think is the best line of that quote. it helps put our existence into perspective. this is our grandchildren's house & their children & their children and what we do today will effect how nice their home is. if we want pavement & landfills everywhere then we can keep going the way we're going. if we want parks in every neighborhood, clean lakes for them to swim in or clean air to breath... then we need to do a few extra things as we go on with our lives.
but i'm not going to lecture anymore, at least today :) now, i just wanna take a moment to look at some of the amazing places i've been & pay respect to this amazing world we live in & hope that maybe my kids will get the same view.
Thank you for sharing your amazing glimpses of the world and giving meaning to why we need to be aware of the choices we make and their impact.
