We are so intelligent yet not enough to see the fact that the small things serve as our keystone to our lives. We have become so spoiled and mechanic that we are slowly doing away with the things that make our lives possible. With our entire environment teetering on the verge of possible extinction, it is time to wake up and get out of our pompousness. Become respectful of nature and mother earth and it will give you life and love. Disrespect her and she will bring chaos and destruction. Its up to you man.

A fool will persist in their follies until “”You become wise.”
-William Blake
“I love this quote. I have been acting foolish and always acted foolish. It always varies on the energy of the moment. In the meantime I play and learn and play. Becoming wise and acting a fool, on and off and on and off.”
