“…whether there is really any impending threat or if the changes are all part of the natural process, I see this scenario as an invitation for all of us, yes, ordinary citizens like me and even children like you, to reestablish our lost connection with Nature. That, I believe, is the root cause of a lot of problems today.”

“I am a worshipper of Nature as well. Because that is where I feel the most pious…amidst the beauty of Nature, than in any temple I’ve ever visited. I can feel your presence, dear Universe, every time I look at a beautiful flower, a butterfly, a sun set.. Plants and trees are the only scriptures I care to study. And the rustling of the winds through the leaves is the only song I truly long to hear endlessly.”
