When I die I become part of the tree that is planted over my grave.  My body grows into the wood and into the fruit, and I become part of the bluebird that eats fruit from the tree.  We are all connected; rooted to this Earth and to life.  We were part of that which came before

PARTICIPATING IN THE PROCESS: APPRECIATING CITIZEN RIGHTS AND RECOGNIZING CIVIC DUTY

Susan S. posted an article on Thoughts on surviving violent crime - Oct 21, 2008, 11:46 am
