Favorite Quote:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how to the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. . . ." Theodore Roosevelt


The earth is crying 

Hot and stormy tears of pain

Mother Earth, sad child
