Plant trees for your great-grandchildren -
for future generations.
Create the legacy of a better world.
Leave this world a better place than you found it.

to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
- Mother Teresa

pound pillows, scream, curse.
Then take a deep breath, and get over it.
