"Out in the Rainforest, you learn how everything is interconnected and that each little species, even though it may seem insignificant, has a role to play in this tapestry of life. What better day than Earth Day to really make a determined effort to live our lives in better harmony with nature. Every single individual matters, every single individual makes
some impact on the planet every single day, and we have a choice as to what kind of difference we're going to make."
-Dr. Jane Goodall on Earth Day, April 22, 2018

I transcribed these beautiful and moving words from a short YouTube video featuring the amazing Dr. Jane Goodall. In it, she tells a little bit about her own personal journey towards becoming the woman that she is and as well gifts us with the inspiring sentiment I quoted above.
The simple truth is, the Earth Matters, and so as well does Each and Every single creature on it. It's very easy to forget this truth sometimes as we move and often need to struggle forward through this frequently grey and muddled world we've all created and allowed to exist. Yet we Must remember! We are All Connected! We are All one! Everything that we do effects everything else that we share this beautiful planet of ours with!
So please, on today of all days, Earth Day, let's at the very least stop our daily grind for just a moment and remember these truths, and reflect on the wise and love filled words of a wonderful human being who has devoted her entire life towards helping our fellow creatures and passengers on this ride through the cosmos on this spaceship we call Earth.
And watch the video!
It's beautiful and moving. (and short ;~ )
Much love to you All.
Happy Earth Day!!
