If we become like Mother Nature keeping our intentions and our actions toward helping the land, the people and the animals then we don't have to become desperate.
Where our focus goes, our vitality flows.
Like the natural world we as common people focus on the richness of nature and not on the bad guys that keep on destroying.
These thoughts came to mind lately and I wanted to share them with you if you need some words of solace.
