Joe Coyhis From the book "Meditations with Native American Elders: The Four Seasons"

" Nature is a living example of how communities live in harmony. If you go into the forest or mountain and sit still and watch, ask yourself, what lessons are being taught? 

Then watch how the animals conduct themselves. The trees could represent diversity. The flowers could represent people. Notice how everything in nature assists one another.

See how balance works. See how conflict is handled. Can you see acts of forgiveness? Can you spot respect?

Nature is full of wisdom if we will only consider her to be our teacher.

My Creator, today let me learn from nature."

The Garden is gone and we are humming the Old Joni Mitchel Song:

"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot"
