"From the time I could walk, my mother opened up the world of nature to me. She took me on walks in the woods to identify the birds, flowers, trees, and animals. On our walks, I grew in the knowledge of what nature offered people. From her, I learned that I belonged to the land and the rivers."
"Nature taught me that there is always room to grow, new things to try, or different perspectives to consider. A lifetime is barely enough time to learn the basics, and only scratches the surface. I am taught by the animals, time, nature, my friends, and my clients that there is always something else to learn."
