I have come to terms with the future. From this day onward I will walk easy on the earth.  Plant trees.  Kill no living things. Live in harmony with all creatures.  I will restore the earth where I am.  Use no more of its resources than I need.  And listen, listen to what it is telling me.
-   M.J. Slim Hooey

Worry does not change the future,
It saps the strength from the present.

When planning for a year, plant corn. 
When planning for a decade,plant trees. 
When planning for life, train and educate people.
-  Chinese Proverb

Love this Earth as if you won't be
here tomorrow;
show reverence for your Garden as if you will be here forever.
-  Scottish proverb

 The true gentleman does not preach what he
practices

till he has practiced what he preaches.
-  Confucius

My robe hangs in the garden,
          dripping like a tree.
    One day I'll step
  out of my body
    exactly like this.
   It's easy to die.
             Just give your breath
     back to the trees
and the wind.
